where are you getting this information from?
Largest individual deal (that I know about) for a tennis player was $200k for one year(actually one semester) plus they paid for them to travel that entire spring playing pro tournaments and even missing some of the college matches…

When I am the link between these sets of people I help put the parties together
The most common payors in these deals are rich kids on the team already parents. Those are MASSIVE to get in the Olympic sports now. More important to get this player first over the top recruit really. They are your income source
Often times too when they are coming to a school around me I’ll help them get settled woth people to help with tax purposes (I am a cpa and these kids are usually coming across the globe)
College tennis is an extremely small world. I am nothing special here. There are tons of me that have the same info and connections based on playing. If you or mingo thinks this makes me special or is unbelievable that’s your own insecurity or jealousy on a message board showing which is sad
ETA: one of the other sources of info I have is my best friend that runs the John McEnroe tennis academy in NYC. He brokers multiple deals a year obviously

Rich parents are paying their own kids NIl deals? Or they are paying for other kids in the team NIL deals? There is no way it is the latter. The former makes zero sense.

Multiple schools, extremely common
Before NIL, having a rich player that was good was MASSIVE because they would turn down a scholarship and let it be available for another player. Huge in a sport with only 4.5 schollies
Now, a rich parent is a slam dunk regardless of skill because they can buy you the studs.

Why? Collegiate tennis teams are highly competitive among the team members.

Why?
In most of the cases, the kid whose parent is rich will never ever ever see the starting lineup and the parent knows this, they are grateful to be on the team…

Yes. If my parents pay for some kid and he takes my spot at Ojai, I’m furious.

So they pay for someone better to make their presence on the team even more tenuous. Forgive me if I call BS.

His value to LSU football financially and the bottom line
You’d have to separate his value from Jefferson, Chase, CEH, and the rest of the team and compare it to what LSU would make in an average season and what other SEC teams made that year

The rich kid is terrible had absolutely no reason being on a top ranked tennis team at a power 5 school
However, the kid gets a spot, and now, voila the team has NIL money to spend
Their presence isn’t more tenuous due to the parents buying the top players, the kids presence on the team only exists because of the fact the parents are buying players….

Wow. So what you’re saying is you have helped broker deals where kids parents buy their way into the team they would not otherwise make by paying for their teammates to attend. Which programs are doing this?

Which programs? Be specific.
Posted on 6/19/25 at 3:31 pm to BBONDS25
The majority of programs do this and it’s not even remotely specific to tennis
I would never ever speak of any deal in specifics with schools names or player names and you of course know this
Your rage boner for me is showing now as a clear sign of insecurity and it’s sad
Just to remind you as well, tennis coaches (and other non revenue sports coaches) were taking personal payments of parents of kids that sucked at sports and letting them on the team so the kid could get into school. The fbi for whatever reason got involved and busted them. This was going on for years
You acting incredulous coaches would take players in order to get payments for other players is hilarious. That’s far less sketchy. It’s just smart
There are walk ons in every single sport that it’s known the person will never ever play. Thinking things some great injustice is hilarious

Nobody asked for a students name. If this is as common as you say then naming a program shouldn’t. Be a problem at all. So name the program.

Very strange sentence. I think you’re lying. I played collegiate tennis. This wasn’t common. Im asking for details. You won’t give any. Because you’re full of shite.

And you’re alleging it is happening again. You say it is common. Name a program. You won’t.

Perfect. Name a program with a smart coach.

I’ll name some programs
Almost every single one in the sec , acc, and big 10
I’ll also blow your mind, this has been happening long before NIL. a rich walkon whose parents could help give to the team for travel expenses and such in booster money was the norm as well. Almost every team had one back in my day
Wild I lnow!!
