Two sides to this coin for the kids..... Side one - They FINALLY gets some compensation for their efforts and their risk (think career injury)! ncaa/schools have been making a mint of them for too long. New collective TV deal from the POWER 48/60 will dwarf the NFL. It is going to rain $$$$ very soon. Side two - this is absolutely pandora's box for the charlatans and hucksters. Literally, 10ssss of billions are for the taking and they will certainly want a share come hook or crook...heavy on the crook. As to the contracts... 17 year old signs a contract. Is he an adult? Implications are not good on that end. This also opens the door for above. Someone reps him. Kid claims he was taken advantage of. What does the school do? Again, lawsuits/criminal charges? I don't know? Kid wants out. Has a binding contract. What happens. School could blow his future just sitting him for bad behavior. He only has limited eligibility... Not the NFL where they can sit out or not perform.

Nathan, Could see term based contracts as well. 3 star - 1 year, etc. I hate the idea this could go collective bargaining with strikes and all that nonsense. The power two are going to have to lead this venture. Scholarship/salary caps, terms, player reps/brokers, contracts/standards - YIKES!

Could also see performance based and incentive based contracts. This going to get interesting!

Parents sign a contract. Kid is now locked in. Once an NIL contract is signed no movement. That is the back end of the free market. Can also see a chilling effect on the portal. Lawsuits could abound.....

Anyone see that Eric Garza of Southlake committed to the Longhorns. Is he going to be a walk-on?

Huge smile on my face being Gerry in the videos yesterday!
