Next Level Athletics

The NIL collective with an athlete-first approach

[Next Level Athletics @NextLevel_TN]

So true!!

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

I just can’t believe anyone ever bought into the concept of amateurism and that the NCAA has ever, at least in the recent past, put the welfare of the athlete above its motive to generate as much profit as possible while denying the labor force entitlement to a share.

[E. Michael Brezina, III @embrezina3]

YES!! The casual fan does not yet fully grasp #NIL, but every fan understands basic fairness. Foreign athletes deserve a chance to earn NIL deals! It is that simple and that basic. There is no question Legislation should be carved out to achieve this purpose. @VarsityNIL

BREAKING: Clemson LB TJ Dudley has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per @mzenitz.

He was a 4-star recruit in the class of 2022👀

To clarify, my position is the NCAA should take no action to restrict athletes from obtaining guidance, advice and counsel that is needed and should be championing same as opposed to its current stance that athletes can’t receive the help unless it’s offered to all students. See:

[Kristi Dosh @SportsBizMiss]

A new NIL program for @ZOAenergy includes seven athletes hand-selected by @TheRock. I've got the details on @ForbesSports.

This is happening a lot more than the average fan realizes! Great point, @SportsBizMiss !

[Kristi Dosh @SportsBizMiss]

Apparently it's not just brands and agents scamming athletes but also journalists. I've talked to at least three athletes recently who said a reporter included them in an article that was completely outside the context of what they were told when they agreed to the interview.

Check out the specifics of this major changes to NIL in Missouri. Very interesting…..

@VarsityNIL @PistolCreekAC @MBrezinaLaw

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

Missouri became the 5th state to make sweeping changes to its #NIL law, including a prohibition on the NCAA punishing schools in the state for NIL policy violations.

But Missouri's law goes WAY further than that.

(1) Those providing compensation to athletes for the use of their NIL rights or athletic reputation SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT to condition payment on the athlete's attendance at a particular postsecondary educational institution. INDUCEMENTS ARE OK.

(2) High school athletes in Missouri can earn NIL money ONLY after signing an athletic letter of intent or other written agreement to enroll in a postsecondary educational institution IN MISSOURI. Missouri is inducing HS athletes to stay in Missouri!

[E. Michael Brezina, III @embrezina3]

High School #NIL is for girls too!!!
