Quote from: The Equalizer on June 04, 2025, 06:33:22 PMSeems like a stretch to claim Shaka *encouraged* Kolek to sign with an agent.

All we know is that they had a conversation. We don't know if Shaka provided encouragement--or whether he tried hard to discourage Kolek.

I think you don't want to admit you were wrong about this because it seems pretty obvious to me.


Quote from: The Equalizer on June 04, 2025, 06:33:22 PMBut answer this--if you believe Shaka encourages players to sign an agent for outside NIL opportunity, why haven't they listened to him?  Why only Kolek?

No other Marquette player has an agent?  Or some sort of representative helping manage NIL? You sure about that?

Regardless, since most of them are likely primarily supported via NIL through BTD, it seems like having an agent doesn't make a lot of sense for some of them.

For what? It was admittedly a speculation, but one I think is accurate.

Source that players receive NIL money from the BTD fund?   You serious, Clark?

Players should ignore Shaka and hire agents for everything.

I don't think Shaka is trying to dupe kids or anything, but it's silly to suggest 17/18-year-old kids - or their untrained parents - should be negotiating their own deals. Even if the payment from MU is a flat fee, there are other elements in any deal to discuss (length, rights and responsibilities, out clauses, etc.).

Quote from: Stretchdeltsig on June 03, 2025, 05:13:19 PMIt makes me sick to read about a college kid getting that much money. Something is terribly wrong.

I thought this was implied teal until I saw who wrote it.

He sees himself as very smart. He reads stuff on his iPad every morning so he is very wise.
