You essentially are arguing that athletes have no agency in NIL deals which is a very weird stance to take
He said this is not pay-for-play but pay-for-work, that each of the 111 UM players with executed or pending contracts must make significant time commitments to promote his companies. “They come here and we film just about every Friday,” Ruiz said. “School comes first, their obligation to team comes second but they’re required to come here and film.”
Bacot hanging out with the former owner of Roma (currently in the Celtics ownership group). Interesting.
Deserves its own "Ryan Horn Appreciation Thread" IMONo idea where to put this…

I have no idea if Horn is a good strength coach but when it comes to mugging for the camera after one of his players hit a 3 to cut a lead from 21 to 18...dude is ELITE
no, that is actually not what I am saying at all.
they have agency.
But if the Nijel Pack wants $800,000 plus a car, he's going to have to agree to stay in Miami (or be in Miami every Friday; see below) to keep the cash coming. And that is probably a smart contract for him to enter into.
And if Wong wants to make money from an NIL deal in Miami, he's going to have to stay in Miami to make the cash from that deal.
From an article about Ruiz:
yeah, i think the key point that others might disagree with or are overlooking is that these NIL deals are not ROI positive for businesses, but rather vehicles for rich fans support their teams.
If one of y'all owns a horse farm, maybe you can get Jake to come back. Just saying.
Always has been.
What "always has been" what? NIL deals are quite new.
