Miami, is that you?

Oh wow. That was bad.

 

[manhattanbuff]

I doubt that ends up being true.

Depends on the language of the contract… my guess is that the folks in Iowa City didn’t expect Proctor to do them dirty yet again. They were wrong.

I think we will see players allowed to have legitimate agents soon, and those agents will work with them on NIL deals similar to their NFL clients. And that will also shift the common landscape to contracts that are 1 year deals, legally enforceable on both ends, but allows for players to move around after a season.

I don't know how you seek and negotiate endorsement deals without professional representation certified with NCAA compliance. I thought they had that.

I believe they can’t have legitimate representation as of right now. Unless I’m mistaken

Pretty sure people have agents…

Only Cody Williams.

I’m specifically talking about CFB. Am I wrong here? I thought that MBB and CFB had oddly different rules about the hiring of agents while in college?

I was only making a joke that refers back to the basketball forum and player minutes.

This is another one of those things that I think NCAA loses badly on if it's ever litigated.

Can they seriously say that players can't hire lawyers to represent them in contract negotiations?

It's a fine line between contract negotiations (lawyers) and generally promoting your client (agents), but there's just no way that the NCAA could enforce a "you're not allowed to use a lawyer" rule - I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been blown up already.

But these are not real endorsement deals
These are mafia shakedowns
You just gotta have Cousin Vinny

What do the players really want now from College Football?

 

[SewallBeach]

They can sign with NIL talent/marketing agencies.

Where do agents come in?​

Right at the start, and through the whole process. NIL rules in all states allow players to sign agents who will help secure endorsements, appearances, and the like.
