Cracked Sidewalks: NIL's possible impact at Marquette

[Dish]

Barstool's involvement is interesting in that some states Penn Gaming licenses Barstool for their sportsbooks. Slippery slope?

I also find Barstool's recruitment of female athletes to be very on brand.

Since he is no longer a student there, he probably can.

On a related note, here's a nice anecdotal story of a typical basketball player NIL journey.

I see on Instagram that morsell is selling game worn items from Maryland. Is that legal under this agreement? I thought the Maryland branding on the items would make that a no go.

That's an interesting question and the NIL can perhaps lead to lots of violations.  Then what will the punishment be?  Wow.  Could get ugly.  Hm

I don't see any violations.

There's no trademark or copyright volation, as this falls under the principle of First Sale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine. As long as Maryland gave him the shirts and had no further ownership interest, I don't see why Moresll can't sell his personal property.  There's no trademark or copyright violation.

The other issue is whether the sale is prohibited by NCAA rules.  Previously The NCAA had rules against this sort of transaction because it would enable a booster to "buy" something from a player as a way to transfer money to him.  Now that the underlying money transfer is permitted, I don't know what violation would result from legitimately selling a product you own.

Now that he's gone from Maryland that's ok.

Perhaps, but I think it will be more of matter of leveraging Barstool's brand equity and reach more so than the direct gambling content.  They already posted about athletes seeing their IG follows explode after signing with Barstool.  That reach can be monetized

As for the female athletes, sure, but thats gonna be a huge element of this.  That LSU gymnast who is going to be a huge winner in the NIL development certainly isn't cause she's the next Simone Biles.  There was a list of the highest followed players in the NCAA tourney, and it was a 50/50 split between stars like Bueckers from UCONN and random supporting players who happened to be attractive or active on TikTok.  The game is the game.

My point was more around Barstool sponsoring active NCAA athletes, and the (perhaps) perceived interest of being able to gamble on said athletes teams on Barstool's wagering platform.

I have no problem at all with good looking gals (or guys) taking full advantage to get endorsements. I just thought it was funny how open Barstool has been about it (not criticizing). I'm all for people getting every deal they can.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Schools cannot directly or indirectly arrange deals either.

This will benefit stars, not many others though. It's social media where kids are going to benefit. Just wait until a MU SA wants to start doing Only Fans and see how MU reacts to that.

Anyone notice the less than subtle product placement? Curious who got a cut of that.

Nice.

That said, I am glad Todd Smith has been unleashed again.

Who follows these guys on IG? Which player has a new whip?
