This to me posses the biggest issue there will be with the NIL payments… how can you expect to have 18 year old kids Learn from someone that makes less then them… that’s essentially like saying I make more money then my boss, how would you expect me to listen to my boss in that kind of situation…
now I’m sure a lot of these contracts have built in protections for the business, I mean if it was me I’d put playing time restrictions to it and possibly statistical escalators/ milestones for anyone I’m planning on signing to an NIL contract… meaning you have to play x amount of snaps or have x amount of sack/ receptions/ tackles/ interceptions/ TDs/ yards or whatever and reach this payout, then have milestones for another tier of payment so maybe the first mile stone is just 1 TD you get 5k, 5th TD you get 30k or whatever… or even say a QB you get x amount extra for each 300 yard passing game or each game with no INTs…I want the kids motivated to get on the field, and make help sell my brand, I don’t want kids that just took a paycheck and then moved on or stopped trying, that’s not going to help sell my business.
