How is it risky investing thousands and thousands of dollars into a HS kid that may or may not work out?
Do you own your own business ?

This needs to hurry up and happen so a bunch of them can get arrested or flunk out or get injured and end up with ZERO.

I’m curious what these businesses are going to do when they pay these kids and their ROI is nothing

Business expenses it as advertising. Biz owner gets to help stock his favorite team with players.
Why would it be all about ROI when it's been going on for years under the table? It's just in the open now.

That dude puts some serious heat on the ball for his age.

The Jenner sisters made tens (hundreds?) of millions doing this when they were teenagers.
What is the rationale for why this kid shouldn’t be able to do it with football but they can do it with makeup or whatever they sell?
For such a freedom-loving bastion of capitalism as Texas is in most areas, this is baffling.

kind of thing will be common for a few years but after enough recruits don't pan out, these companies will stop throwing money at unproven players.
Idk , I think this will be made illegal when this nil gets whatever rules they are gonna put on it. They just haven’t had time to regulate this how they will end up regulating it

Not the ncaa .government regulations are coming somehow someway

People still thinking the NIL is about businesses looking for good ROI. NIL is simple pay for play. Plenty of businesses and boosters have money to throw at the home town/state tea
That's exactly what it's going to be. You are going to see everyone going to college early.

They weren’t being paid under the table to endorse products years ago. The under the table was boosters giving recruits something of value to come to their respective schools and then on the back end of their college careers, players would get bribed by agents to sign with them.
You think Olivia Dunne was getting paid millions “under the table” and NIL just made it above board? Lol yeah okay.

Now tell me how it is different when the same booster that owns a car dealership does a NIL deal with a player his team is recruiting.
The only difference is it's not under the table now and no worries about the NCAA.
Olivia Dunn has nothing to do with the discussion.

Good for him, Texas is dumb for having this rule in place. The kid could go get any other job as a high school senior, why can’t he benefit from his likeness. So stupid

The ROI is the Buckeyes get the #1 player on campus a year early.

As soon as these companies get their products plugged by these athletes (many of them already have 6/7 figure followings on social media), they've already mitigated their risk. They aren't paying for future clout or viewership, it's already built in via social media.
This is no different than any other "organic" teenage YouTube star or social media influencer monetizing their notoriety.
Y'all are stuck thinking about this like it's (1) wealthy alums funneling money to players or (2) it's local area businesses putting these athletes in local radio ads. Get out of 1995 and open your eyes up.

Exactly. This is what BuckyCheese doesn’t get. This isn’t something that is coming out from under the table. This is entirely new. Eric Dickerson getting a gold Trans Am isn’t the new normal. Athletes posting behind the scenes, playing video games, doing fun shite, etc. on social media is what is driving interest now.

Sounds like the kid can graduate HS early and earn money for the skills he crafted his entire childhood. Why would he cut grass?
It truly is phenomenal just how fricking stupid people are and how willing they are to show everyone else.

This. For some reason, people are approaching this like it's an agent giving the kids money to secure them for future NFL revenue.
If a Dealership gives a kid $10k and that helps them sell a couple of cars over the next month, then the ROI was already made. Dealership doesn't give a shite about what happens 4 years down the road.

LMAO what college player has a 7 figure following? Spencer Rattler is the Heisman favorite and less than 400k and only post once or twice a month which means his post are going to get buried on most of his followers feed.
Anyone who believes that this money is for their name image and likeness is a moron. This is pay for play
