Master P's kid got $2M. This is our worst nightmare.

[pavyracer]

Hercy Miller, the son of rapper and former NBA player Master P, has signed a $2 million deal to become a brand ambassador for Web Apps America, a tech company specializing in web, mobile and software solutions. Miller's endorsement deal ties into the company's commitment to supporting HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) in the United States.

[Roger T. Bannon]

I think they are breaking the ice on the NIL market and trying to set the bar for endorsements. This is a shot at the NCAA.

[pavyracer]

I don't see anything wrong with this. The school is not paying him money. The sponsor does. Maybe this guy will stay in school for 4 years and graduate instead of going to the NBA after 1 year.

[Roger T. Bannon]

It is the new ballgame. It is going to get wild. You are going to start to see transfers to schools just for the endorsements. The NCAA is going to lose all control of player movement.

[carolinakid]

i like anything if it make the kids stay in college, it been a shit show for yrs with the one and done babies, it killing both college and the nba

[Roger T. Bannon]

It will definitely keep players in school. A college basketball player is worth $1,000,000 as a starter and the NBA minimum is less than that. So NCAA players are actually more valuable than NBA bench players.

[dlowilly]

Great idea

Let's let overcashed thugs loose on college campuses

[Roger T. Bannon]

The nightmare has begun. Many a bitter tear will be shed.

[jjgold]

This is going to be a disaster can you imagine these guys that can’t even read and with all that money getting into trouble

These kids are going to have five babies at 22 they don’t even know what birth-control is or what it means

[SamsNCharge99]

dorm rooms about to be LIT

[Roger T. Bannon]

It is always worse when guys that can't read have money because they can get themselves into trouble. If they are broke, nothing can go wrong. The world is at it should be.

[Brock Landers]

They opened Pandora's box

No closing it now

LOL

[DrunkHorseplayer]

10 guys will end up making millions while everyone else makes next to nothing.

[Roger T. Bannon]

10 guys will end up making millions while everyone else makes next to nothing.

That sounds like NCAA coaches. Actually, going to be a lot of money spread around here. These guys have a lot of present value and huge future value. If you are a sponsor, you want to get in early and you will spread it around.

That ship sailed with the transfer portal. There will be less movement now because a player can make money sitting on the bench. Everyone is not trying to go pro, some just want spending money.

You have not looked at transfers. They are 10x what they used to be. They are going to be even higher.

[carolinakid]

the nba play went down after the one and done kids had several yrs of moving to the nba, sure the pts went up but the play went down.........

[johnnyvegas13]

Can someone please explain this to me

the school can’t pay them but anyone can get a payed sponsorship???

[Roger T. Bannon]

Yes, you can get sponsorship. So now you will have players making $100,000. Of course at some point, people are going to say. What sense does it make not to pay a player when he is already making $250,000?

The coach and the AD and school president will say: Because we will not make as much!!!! Who is going to pay us???

And people will say, Oh yeah.

And then later, they will say: Why again are we losing players that make $250,000???

[carolinakid]

plus the companies that paying the big money will want the kid in a top college to see the kid on the high level to see it product and money spent wisely

[Roger T. Bannon]

Yes, a guy is going to be a surprise player at Kansas as a 3-star and then he will transfer to LSU to play for the national championship and make twice as much money. And an LSU guy will transfer to Kansas to try to get playing time to try to get an endorsement and get seen for NFL.

[seaborneq]

You have not looked at transfers. They are 10x what they used to be. They are going to be even higher.

We will see how it goes. The transfer portal was 10X what it used to be before the NIL. I just think the NIL stabilizes the system since every player can get paid no matter which school they attend or whether they are starters or bench players. Only time will tell. Some players will get paid more in NIL money as students and never get paid as a professional.

How are you going to get a sponsorship deal at Alabama sitting on the bench? You have to play to get sponsorship.

[Roger T. Bannon]

I think you will see some guys play four years at four different schools at some point.

[carolinakid]

the bottom line is to kept the kids in college i hope this 1 and done thing was so stupid from the get go, if the kid good enough dont waste the college pick because someone might really want to attend school.

[Roger T. Bannon]

LOL. It is not like they are stopping somebody from attending school. The NCAA demanded one and dones. That was the best the NBA would give them.

[thetrinity]

Wonder if this will cause problems in football specifically. You have fat lineman no one cares about that won’t get any deals and QBs getting 6/7 figures

[Runeblade]

Don't forget a shit ton of sexual assault accusations from those college girls looking for some $$$$

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

The NCAA is going to lose all control of player movement.

imagine being so dense that this is what you cry about on the internets

[Roger T. Bannon]

imagine being so dense that this is what you cry about on the internets

Who is crying. I want the NCAA to be destroyed.

[vitterd]

They should get whatever they can. These scumbags at ncaa are making billions off these kids.
