I don't know the guys name, but i thought it was hilarious he made $1M from NIL, and I don't think he played much (or at all) and simply walks away via the portal. 🤣
That'll put some caution to boosters on NIL investment.....

Ewers is the guy:

Allegedly part of his NIL stuff includes him starting X amount of games next season, which is a violation of NIL rules.
Wow, more cluster-fark complications......
No kidding, the nil is just another can of worms
This was clarified. It was taken out of the final contract.
Lol
good for him
I disagree based on ethics, but:

edit: the kid signed a 3 year deal with a company that made an investment in him that they can still make a return on. him transferring is probably better for the NIL deal
College football is rife with "ethical problems", this being not that high on the list. But I don't have the interest in discussing them on an internet forum.
also, fix your link
Kid who is supposed to be a Sr. in HS "reclassifies" solely to clear a supposed $1M in endorsement money only to leave before a single season (effectively leaving before he would have originally even enrolled).
Yep, I can definitely see how beneficial NIL is going to be for college sports...definite winner of an idea /s (if needed)
Bingo!
Counterpoint: kid got paid and it hurt nobody
Not the kids fault someone was willing to pay him that
Hope they waste all their damn money. Same with the schools giving these coaches crazy contracts.
are we gonna go after him?
No thank you . Keep this one far from our locker room.
Smart business kid, no problem with him as a person whatsoever. However, there's zero chance he leaves the state of Texas
Nah, he's going to play for some team in Texas to make more money.
From the article:
I imagine the NIL deal is still in place. The best ones should be transferable with the athlete.
I have a problem w the end of that sentence. Is it just me or is the "in Texas" part not needed?
In Texas, high school athletes are specifically not allowed to make money off of their NIL rights. I think most or all other states allow it.
Still seems odd since there are only a few states that allow highs schoolers to sign NIL.
"High School NIL: State-by-state regulations for name, image and likeness rights - Opendorse" https://opendorse.com/blog/nil-high-school/
Ah. Didn't realize that many states have said it's not allowed for high schoolers. I guess Texas is the only one that matters for him, though, since his options would either have been move to a state that allows high schoolers to have NIL rights, or start college early.
I always read that as until he was 18 like not a minor before he could get NIL benefits am I wrong?
Mommy and Daddy could be the trustees I'd imagine. And its not out of the realm of possibility for a HS Jr to be 18 depending on birthdays and the school schedule. I was just watching a game where I swear the commentators were gushing over a true freshman QB, praising his poise for being *just a 20-year old*... and I was confused.
I just looked it up, that was CJ Stroud of Ohio State.
I find it funny that this post starts off with "I don't know the guy's name". Obviously, that million dollars is paying off!
