    why is there so much nft discussion?

    do they really need to be that clever about it?  seems like there’s no rule about overall licensing deals that pay big $$ and don’t even require a photo, autograph, or public appearance, let alone unique digital collectibles.

    and everyone on the team is eligible, though the tales of “this will only become a thing with the big stars” bit is adorable. 

    This particular NFT thing is clever because it makes determining fair market value for it nearly impossible partly because of its uniqueness and partly because of the parties involved. 

    A booster could pay millions for it on the pretense it’s a speculative collectible on the future best NFL player in history .

    What do you compare it too? Plus art is in the eye of the beholder. It’s not like a pair of shoes.

    And Fuck u if u consider shoes art. u dapper sneaker head

    I might be on it maybe?  I need to have some mind space to think about this and how I can make it work. The biggest thing I need though is the ability to coordinate with staff. I think that’s illegal. I’m sure everyone is doing it. I bet we aren’t. I would think if there are a coupe forward thinking business men on here we could rustle up $50-100k. Put another way- if I could make this thing work for me I could happily put in mid 5 figures without blinking, but I’d need buy in from some other stakeholders

    Give me a week or two and I will try to come up with something but will probably need a little bit of help with some stuff.

    It depends on what you mean by “coordinate” with UT staff. It’s possible they delegated everything to a third party to act as kind of a go between. They have have a compliance email I imagine is for questions like yours. The UT staff can’t organize the deal or help set it up (like physically be there). I don’t have enough posts to access the thread with the rest of your thoughts but like I said I’ll be glad to help if needed.

    If you need extra legal help I can probably donate some time.

    I haven’t really followed the details of the Texas administration’s approach to NIL, but on the surface it appears they went with the “here’s what you can do for yourself” (social media) approach, instead of the “here’s what we can do for you” approach.

    Am I wrong or was it that lazy?

    They had to do it that way because Texas NIL pretty much says as much, unfortunately

    are you knowledgeable about the NIL rules?  what violations do you think you see?

    In Texas athletes can’t contact with Nike or any of the other UT “partners” which appear to be half of Austin’s businesses. Another attorney told me that. I thought it would depend upon the particular contracts between UT and the businesses.

    You also can’t match up or endorse businesses to athletes.

    You also can’t suggest to recruits whom they can work with if they decide to enroll. This last one is the most damning. I bet Oregon tells this kid how to reword what he said ASAP
