Name, Image and Likeness becomes law in Florida

Even though it is not effective til next year, the players we are recruiting now can benefit when they get here. Somebody fill me in. Are we going to be able to keep up with the $EC now? Are we going to get outsider help that just want to take advantage of our market? Cant we be selling kids on this now for this recruiting class ? So sick and tired of all these 5 star players going elsewhere. Give me hope please lol

Not to be a downer, but in the long run this will probably hurt us. We are hedging our bets that the fact that cities like Miami have big corporations and markets it will help with better endorsements.

The problem is that the vast majority of people in Miami could care less about some college non professional athlete especially if the team is bad. So those endorsements won't be as worthwhile as a place like Alabama where all they have is college football (no pros). Those kids will be treated like celebrities and endorsements will be worth while.

Not to mention a school with huge boosters like Georgia can just buy thousands of merch of a player for an endorsement and just make the pay they are going to give them completely legal.

The only way Miami benefits is if some states don't agree to this or we start dominating and our players are huge NFL prospects like 20 years ago. If you can make these players real stars like Rousseau if he keeps it up then it will help a ton to be in a bigger market

Local businesses and local leaders need to step up and help the kids who stay home. Go out of their way to help those that support their hometown. Show them that they can begin their brand-building right here. I forget Austin's screen name, but he should be all over this as a way into these kids. If he hasn't already he should have a stable of businesses ready to pitch. AR82 should be on it also.


Go Canes!

I summed up your post for you. Mostly because I disagree with the rest if we improve. If Miami wins, things will be sold. You would be surprised (or maybe not) on how many "Turnover Chain" merchandise was sold in 2017. ****, I was in eastern North Carolina and saw a couple turnover chain t-shirts.

This is where Manny Sr needs to be in charge of finding businesses to “sponsor” a few guys once they enroll. I’m sure the coaches won’t be allowed to be involved in setting up these endorsements but I’m pretty sure the former mayor can help and that can be communicated to the right people.

The best part of the "show" today was DiSantis having Jon Vilma and an FSU alum there to speak. No rep from UF. In fact, UF was barely mentioned. It was great PR for the Canes. Even the Lt. Governor talked about how people in her generation were Canes fans, regardless where they went to school....

Good-As it should be with a law like this (if it’s similar to how we all probably think it is).

UM staff needs to expand and get some additional staffers who can market and can strictly provide ‘business sense’ to (parents) and recruits.

From my understanding, UM is not a huge merchandise selling entity, so this doesn't really help us in the "legit" way. Large schools that sell a ton of player jerseys/merch will be able to brag about how high their percentage will hit, while ours will remain modest. Tebow alone would of banked with those jort wearing weirdos... On the shady side, it does allow us to legally get into the bag game a bit by using my thoughts above.. having boosters, and businesses buy up crap ton of merch to balance out with the UF's of the world. Middle-men boosters wouldn't even lose money, if they set up legit online store fronts to resell the merch.

unless I'm looking at it all too simply.

It’s bigger than just jersey sales. This goes to cars, branded clothing, jewelry, clubs, etc. Everything Miami naturallly has more of and can supply to these players. Just look what happened during our 10 win season when they almost sold out a UVA game at noon. Now take that and imagine the profit they would make when they see them all over TV promoting club LIV?

Miami's a national brand unlike Bama or Georgia. It doesn't have to rely on just So Fla.

Do you work in the Hecht? The brand has more worth than they even know what to do with.. Someone pay Bart Scott and Desantis, they sell it better than anyone in coral gables..

1) I wonder if the NCAA will flex what power they have to somehow disqualify FL schools if theu should participate in this and
2) This will pave the way towards schools directly playing recruits. With all the scams boosters will play to funnel money to recruits, people will start to ask "why do we need the middle man?"

I'm not sure how Miami is gonna hang with SEC boosters, but Miami needs to try hard to not be outdone. Miami has car & boat dealerships, real estate, tourism, etc. They need to find a way to set up recruits parents in this, stay ahead of the curve and lawyer the f*ck up to take on the eventual backlash.

so legal bag game is as simple as telling recruits they get XYZ percentage of their personal sales, and then have Joe Booster buy $200k of merch to resell or send to haiti next hurricane?
