College athletes: Here are some considerations if your school asks you to sign a release of claims to obtain your scholarship or revenue sharing deal— 1. If you upheld the terms of the deal and didn’t breach the contract, the compensation is owed to you. 1/

Today, Philip Sheng and I provided our insights and thoughts to Kristi Dosh on the latest news in college athletics: efforts by some to buy - yes, BUY - college athletes’ claims in the House case for pennies on the dollar. Athletes should not be induced to sell their

The IRS has released a new exempt organization technical guide on disqualifying and non-exempt activities, inurement and private benefits. Timely considering many 501c3 foundations and booster clubs are being asked to make rev share payments to athletes. irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p6…

House news: Phoenix TF LLC is offering to purchase athletes’ back pay claims from the House settlement in exchange for immediate cash. Kristi has reviewed the pros and cons and shared her analysis here

The preorder period for The Athlete's NIL Playbook was supposed to run through June 30th, but then my publisher decided to release my book early two weeks ago. However, I'm still offering all the bonuses for those who order before then! Just finished up the bonus pitches. Here's

I've now received contracts for buyouts athletes have been offered from two other entities. Apparently this is becoming quite the business. Athletes, please DO NOT SIGN these contracts before you have an attorney review. The three I've seen bring up a number of concerns.

If you want to see a youth athlete having fun with NIL, check out Reese Lechner! She's featured in the book and such an impressive young lady. 👇🏼

Steve Berman, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, has explained why this is misleading athletes: “The estimates already have removed our requested attorneys’ fees. We will adjust the amounts based on the order on fees, but unless Judge Wilken awards us more than what we asked for,

The “we’re starting a new financial year next week and have no idea what the CSC is going to cost us” is something A LOT of ADs have been complaining about.

I woke up to a wonderful review by Don Williams for The Athlete's NIL Playbook this morning. You still have about 48 hours to get in on the bonuses if you buy the book: - Live NIL and revenue sharing workshops with Q&A - 11 bonus pitch templates - Checklists to implement what

Designated Student Athlete (DSA) is the term used for students that were or would have been cut because a school opted into the HOUSE V NCAA settlement and has to cut their roster down to cap numbers If a school keeps players they name as a DSA, those players won’t count

A total of 319 NCAA DI schools chose to opt into the House settlement for the 2025-26 academic year, sources tell Yahoo Sports. That's 82% of DI. The deadline to opt in for this year was Monday. Going forward, schools must decide by March if they are opting in for the next year.

S/o to Kristi Dosh for the timely NIL Playbook to help athletes navigate this new era! Happy 4 years to NIL! 🎓🎉

Opendorse and Teamworks - systems that schools are using to facilitate rev-share pay - tell Yahoo Sports they distributed more than $16 million combined from schools to athletes on Day 1 of rev-share Tuesday. PayPal, the system used in the Big Ten & Big 12, did not provide data.

I've been asked if this allows Big Ten to get around potential Title IX issues, so I asked a few attorney friends in that space. They all say no. If the school is directing who the payments go to, and how much, that's enough for Title IX to apply.

NEWS: Five-star OT Felix Ojo, No. 20 in the ESPN 300, has committed to Texas Tech. His agent Derrick Shelby tells @ESPN that Ojo will join TTU on a fully guaranteed, 3-year, $5.1 million revenue share contract, believed to be one of the largest guaranteed deals in CFB history.

More details on the Felix Ojo deal with Texas Tech. Reported number includes incentives and other assumptions. Number over three years without those things appears to be $2.325M. And remember rev share deals can’t be signed until December (or offered in writing until August).

Texas Tech softball "helped pull off the deal financially"? So they're investing softball money into football? That sounds like a Title IX attorney's dream.

Koozies are the new cream cheese? If you've been around college sports long enough, you'll get the reference. 😂

I'll be speaking and signing books this weekend in Columbus, Ohio under both my author names. Let's all just hope I sign the right name in the right books! 😂 #columbusbookfestival
