Shoot, I'd argue that while I'm waiting for another pro contract, I want to work towards my degree and to do so, I need the athletic scholarship and since I still have eligibility, I should be allowed to get a scholarship and with that am entitled to NIL money. After all, this is all so the kids can earn their bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, right?
With so many of our girls hitting the portal this year, could this possibly be the reason? She did recruit Hardaway and some of the others that are leaving. Tez Dumars, who was on her staff at UNT is going to GCU as well.
Lawyers would argue that they have "NIL agents" not Professional agents, lol.
Schools and players seem to be challenging all the rules now (about income), and courts are sympathetic. So, perhaps there will be a time soon when a school or player tests the re-signing of an athlete back to college in the same sport.
They could argue he was trying to earn a career, but it didn't happen yet, and while waiting for another chance wants to continue his college sport eligibility. Some court would probably side with the athlete.
