Following Potential 2025 Draftees

I still have no idea how NIL actually works.

The college pays you money, but can you pursue your own brand deals outside of that money the school gives you?

I think all NIL money comes from sponsors. Some sponsors are just sponsors of the program first and foremost.

Ive understood that schools still arent allowed to pay them anything.

I get that, but if you are making crazy money in college and you like it then there would at least be a temptation to stay. I worded my post purposefully, he was never going to stay at Duke, but it might have been true that he considered it at some point.

28 mil is more than 99% of Americans will make in their lifetime
Poor guy :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::):):)
 
Like if you are making 5 million at Duke and 20 million in sponsorship and then go to the NBA and can make 10 million and the same 20 million in sponsorship then the difference doesn't seem that big. You really have to be looking forward to your first max deal sooner, which might not be easy for an 18 year old to do who is having fun being surrounded by people your age.
 
I'm surprised that Flagg's new balance deal was only $15M. LeBron was $87M. I knew that shoe deals have fallen off, but not this much.

I dont know where you got that from. He made a 5 year deal that paid him 13M in NIL money last year alone (which has to be reported, so its known). The value of the next 4 years is not out there AFAIK.

Lebron got 87M for 7 year exclusive deal which stood as the record for rookies for a long time. Wemby broke that record when he got $100M for the same period (7 years exclusive is standard Nike deal).

Sorry it was actually $13M. The $28M number comes from $13M from New Balance and $15M from fanatics. It is speculated that these are totals, not annual payments:

"He had a $13 million deal with New Balance and then $15 million with Fanatics," Bryant said at the 51:09 mark of the conversation.

Here's the thing -- Howard's reported total is likely Flagg's NIL contracts in totality and not an annual payment. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski previously reported Flagg's New Balance agreement was "significant." These are often multiyear contracts between incoming rookies and sneaker companies.

I read other speculations that the years 2-5 were non-guaranteed and had different options. Only 13M were guaranteed and other payments were depending on where he gets drafted (location). If that is true then we will likely hear more about that deal after the draft and I do believe he will get over 10M next year for going #1 to Dallas.

I guess either way its a brand new age of shoe deals when these companies have to lock up college kids without knowing where they land (market matters a lot).
