Good for him
I saw where Gordon signed the entire women's hoops team to a NIL deal as well

According to Jay, lots of baseball players do similar things with their NIL money.

Need to cut his NIL money and spend it on someone who'll appreciate it.

I know Crews and his family have donated a lot of money and also time since he got here. Particularly in the special needs community

Crews


This is one guy that will absolutely get paid back in spades

His skills are well beyond Bregman's

He really didn't even possess pull power as a tool at this point, and Crews has power to all fields to go with speed

Wasn’t Crews the one last year that gave up the scholarship money he was getting?

I know the Crews family is extremely wealthy.

Now that is one way to build your brand in a way that will benefit you no matter what walk of life you end up in whether it be baseball or corp America.

I don’t remember that but it wouldn’t surprise me.


I know Mark Laird turned down scholarship money one year and I think Bregman did it as well.

That’s awesome. Good for him.

Baseball is just wild. Does this kid even have a full scholarship?

Damn that’s awesome. If I was in his position at that age I’d be donating all of my NIL money to Fred’s. Seems like a class act and will be a fan favorite no doubt

No baseball player gets a full athletic scholarship. He may have a full scholarship with athletic and academic.

A lot of college baseball players come from upper middle class and above families. It’s not a cheap sport to play as a youth and in high school just to get noticed by colleges anymore.

Add that to the fact you don’t get a full scholarship a player that LSU would consider to play for them that comes from a less fortunate family would just take the pro money.

Raph Rhymes gave his scholarship money up going into his senior year. It helped LSU get Bregman to campus.

Was I confusing Laird with Raph or did they both do it?
