💰 Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) Discussion

We are about to enter politics territory but I will leave this as a good read. A good rule of thumb is that the solution is never as easy or simple as it seems (unless it is of course… but that’s a whole other story)

Those are interesting facts. Let me be clear though…I did not say anything about illegal immigrants being the primary mules for the fentanyl. But it is primarily made by China and smuggled across the border. That’s all.

The broader point is that the government should be spending our tax dollars there to reduce the supply. BUT, they can likely do both: decrease supply and raise awareness to potentially reduce demand, both of which save lives.

Bottom line is I don’t think it is a bad partnership, if it is legal. I am not a lawyer so no clue; probably not.

I really didn’t want to introduce politics into this (I know NIL is inherently political …) – just thought it was funny that the DOJ was dropping bags.

Also might be nice for Haney to know if someone is dropping substances into his diet pepsi so like 3 birds one stone

I apologize. I worked on the Supreme Court case that settled this issue, so I have strong opinions regarding government involvement in NIL. BUT, I should not have gone on to make a political argument. I certainly don’t want to chase anyone off with politics.

The NCAA tweaked rules to eliminate these sort of events. I read where Indiana ran into the same problem.

This makes sense (pretty close to pay for play) but it is super annoying that one of the first crackdowns is on one of the most fun parts of NIL (or at least fun for those of us who like college hoops because we like watching college hoops).

You heard it here first (maybe last too) ! Reece Beekman and Kymora Johnson fall in love sharing a Big Mac, french fries, and an oh so good chocolate milk shake. Reece can’t force himself to be away from her next year so he stays for one more and leads us to another natty.

Isn’t young love sweet?

So back to back titles then?

So McDonald’s has signed one more UVa basketball player in the past 100 hours than Coach Bennett has signed McDonald’s All-Americans in the past 13 years?

(TIC, kinda)

@haney Do you believe most high major starters are making 2 to 300, 000.00 a year?

Nope

Sometimes when reading these pieces I think about the research that shows that when you ask college students to report much alcohol they drink and also estimate how much they think others drink, they consistently overestimate how much others drink.

Yeah, agree with the others.

  1. just transfers
  2. asking price, not necessarily what they got

I somewhat sympathize with the coach who was complaining about how the *price discovery mechanism sucks.

*Did I get that one right, finance nerds?
