It’s not Cal or Antigua’s decision. Stoops doesn’t try to control players. It’s Antonio’s. He is a grown man. They didn’t relay the offer. While later on the kid is looking for 5-10k deals to get by.Sorry, my impression from your interview last summer on Sports Card Nonsense was you had Levis as an exclusive and sold those rights. I just re-listened and it sounded like you did sell the rights you had so the manufacturer could have exclusive rights.
I’m a collector and obviously don’t know how this side of the hobby works, but is it possible that the offer wasn’t passed along because they didn’t want to hurt the chances of working out a deal with a manufacturer or another store coming in for a signing.
Again, no clue how this works, but it seems there might be an answer other than just deciding Antonio didn’t need the money.
You’re mistaken about the SCN interview. We had an agreement for 1500 autographs from Will after the draft. FANATICS wanted to do a 4-5 million dollar deal with Will. But only if it was exclusive and he didn’t owe anybody autos. So to help Will out I agreed for his agency to buy out my deal. I would have much preferred do my deal since he went to the Titans(close to my store).
As far as why? You would have to ask them. As far as if Reeves would have liked $100,000? I would think so when they are our trying to find NIL deals that were much smaller.
Our best player BY FAR who sacrificed and came back deserves to make some $ too.
