NIL Agents making 20%+ commission?

[Tommy Gadberry]

How is is this helping the kids and their families?

 

[untphd]

Are they helping them get a 1 million dollar deal? It turned into a business.

Agents just enjoying the grift screwing over a bunch of 18-20 y.o.'s who do not know better when $$$ flashed in their faces

I don't adjust my tips at Wafflehouse so their server makes the same as my server at the steakhouse on my birthday.

Why would you try to adjust your NIL percentage to make the same as an NFL agent?

I can rationalize just about anything…but this is stretching it beyond reasonable.

Now this

 

[greenminer]

Noah sounds a like a stand-up, high value man.

Which begs the question, is he an outlier in this industry? are all NIL agents pursuing 20% commissions?

[TheColonyEagle]

So don’t hire him or other agents. 
 

What am I missing…..

I imagine a ton of these kids are navigating a lot right now, and this aggressive, predatory behavior from these agents was new to them.  They wouldn't know better.

They'll learn.  Probably really fast.

Maybe not the best analogy, but I have strong feelings against student loan lending,  and I feel like the government lending part is out of control.  As a 20-23 year old, I took on way too much and there was no one there to tell me otherwise.

I think he was a grad of $mut's NIL School of Shystering.

“kids”

kids are 10 years old not the same age as their peers going to war  

THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED 

They had this little protective blanketed world that evidently sucked for them. They wanted to be paid! I’m all about it. 
 

But don’t whine about the world turning into what they wanted. Want to be a free agent and get that bag? You gotta deal with this. If you don’t want to be taken advantage of…. Be smarter. I don’t know what to tell you. These agents aren’t doing anything illegal. 
 

we seem to want it to both ways. Why are we treating all of these 19-20 year old ADULTS like little babies. 
 

Go get paid! I’m all about it. I really am. I think they should get paid. But What are we supposed to do? Put more rules in? They didn’t like the rules.  The rules were oppressive. Holding them back.
 

So put your big boy pants on and tell these snakes to F off. Protect yourself. You’re on your own now. Act like it. 
 

You know how agents stop charging 20%? When there’s no demand for their services. Until then…..
