In the end, each conference/school will have a choice for each sport:
a) employ student athletes, allowing that sport to be regulated pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement;
or
b) enjoy the positives and bear the negatives of an unregulated market
This approach will promptly provide a clear option that conferences/schools will choose for their student athlete NIL market, as most stakeholders in college sports desire.
The case against these NIL restrictions is so strong that I will pay for the court costs and work on a contingency basis (my client won’t owe me a thing). I just cannot allow this denial of rights to continue.
Unlike a drawn out antitrust class action, this approach will efficiently and effectively establish comprehensive protections for student athletes. I also won’t make $450m, which is what the House attorneys ask for… maybe that’s why no lawyer has bothered to make this claim
I can also represent an NIL agency in Texas or an NIL collective that supports Texas student athletes / schools because such entities also have standing to bring this lawsuit, which will destroy this latest attempt by the NCAA to have unilateral control over the NIL market. DM me
I need a plaintiff who is a Texas high school athlete who desires to be free from the unlawful NIL regulations that the state of Texas and the NCAA have established. This new system is still illegal, so let’s end it this summer before it has an opportunity to do more harm. DM me
I will relentlessly bring lawsuits so that NIL regulations will only survive once student athletes are treated as employees and, therefore, are able to collectively bargain.
It’s not just the NCAA’s new NIL clearinghouse… practically no NIL restrictions can be enforced against student athletes pursuant to well-established Supreme Court precedent regarding rights guaranteed to all people in America.
Ultimately, the NCAA and most of its member institutions cannot legally restrict the NIL market without making such restricted athletes employees, regardless of the House settlement.
My experiences as a collegiate athlete compel me to use my legal knowledge to put an end to these practices that continue to restrict student athletes while denying them the protections that are promised to all people in the United States.
The NIL system that the NCAA and our governments (state & federal) are implementing continues to illegally restrict student athletes, and I’ve prepared a lawsuit that will invalidate the new rule regime established by House settlement along with some NCAA bylaws and state laws
The Board, Superintendent, HS principal and Athletic leadership couldn’t have done a better job of destroying a great, highly impactful program if they tried. It’s almost like they wanted failure. More to come from me when I can say it w/o coming unhinged. IYKYK.
