This opting out is getting worse by the moment.

I’ve never funded an NIL deal, nor have I drafted one, professionally, but “investors” need to protect the school they are spending on, in writing, and make a large, final payment, maybe 50 percent of any annual-type-deal, payable on January 20th following the season.

This should be easily cured.

Yep, 2022 was a big middle finger to UK fans who invested in the Nashville trip only to see Levis and Rodriguez take the NIL and then not play. Oh, and they got to experience a wonderful 21-0 game. As I’ve said in another thread, the fans are screwed by the hands of nil/tp.

When the fans are getting screwed, and have no literal say in the direct matter, then they have only one recourse. Unfortunately, that means putting the dollars someplace else.
 
I think once this new set of guidelines starts and the schools can actually offer nil deals themselves to some players along with the profit sharing that we may see schools tying things up better with performance requirements.
 
If bowls want the players, they need to pay the players. Gift packages are not going to cut it when the portal or the NFL is available. Bowls are in trouble. And, why would a team backload an agreement? Teams want players for the regular season. Bowls are the icing. If I am negotiating with two teams and one tries to backload my pay, I go with the one who will give me the “signing bonus” and a good per game pay.
