CHROMEBIRD Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 2 hours ago, Bigbrog said: What if NIL/scholarship deals included stimulations around leaving...ex. NIL's are contracts and if an athlete doesn't stay for the length of the NIL contract they have to pay back a certain percentage of their deal? Sort of how the military academy's do it. NIL deals can't compensate an athlete for attending an institution or competing, but I believe agreements could be structured around an athlete residing within a certain geographic locale. I think there are already deals like that in football and basketball. I wouldn't be surprised if some companies finesse the language of NIL deals to try to keep an athlete around, as there are cases where an athlete taking a deal and then bolting at the end of the season could be detrimental to a brand or marketing campaign. NIL laws are per state and school, though, so it's a kitten rodeo right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
