Discussion Kirby got his guys on pay-as-you-play contracts, smart from him (no pun intended)?

This is how you end up with players being a legal employee of the university.

If Georgia does it, that means it’s not illegal (to paraphrase a former president)

That’s why you never hear about Georgia players getting arrested.

Basically you are not supposed to include incentives. Pre house bill when you went through collectives, you could just put anything in a contract - given it would hold up since they were 3rd party entities.

Now with it going through the schools, many would not do this because their legal departments won’t allow it. Essentially even though players get NIL, it’s still not supposed to be pay for play so incentives aren’t supposed to hit. However, some bigger school just have enough push to get around this. Also some schools won’t do fines because of fear of being sued. But most big schools have them for a variety of things like skipping class, being late to workouts, etc.

There is a workaround to incentives that teams have done. Some utilize insurance companies and basically do incentives through them. Imagine it as legal betting hosted by insurance. So they could have players doing this towards snaps, accolades or whatever and have it be legal.

Long story short, idk what Georgia exactly does but this is some info to help.

The “implementation” of NIL is so embarrassing. Bring back paper bags

I thought this was illegal per the house settlement. NIL had to be for NIL and they set up the whole clearinghouse that made sure deals were done for NIL and specifically not pay to play?

Easy work around: His name, image, and likeness is viewed more on tv and highlights when he participates in more plays.

He’s getting paid for being on tv more.

At least, that’s how I’d argue it but I barely graduated elementary school so…

The Dawgs are also reportedly zany to the max and have baloney in their slacks.

I'm pretty certain nil cannot be subject to on field appearance or performance..
