Patrick Mahomes is EMPLOYED by the Kansas City Chiefs to play Quarterback, but when you see him in a State Farm Commercial, thats an NIL deal.
The problem with college is that athletes DON’T sign contracts to play football, they sign NIL agreements with their schools to avoid triggering employment law.
That distinction is why revenue sharing exists, buyouts are murky, and enforcement power is almost nonexistent. 🤷♂️
There are over 4,500 Division 1 football players who have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal as of today.
This represents roughly one-third of all Division 1 players.
Thank you to the panel of writers who selected me to the All-State First Team. I’m extremely thankful—what a great way to close out my sophomore season. 🙏
