You need to find a new agent kid. And report this one.

The NIL deals do have the drawback that gravy-training relatives and others of influence (ministers, coaches, agents) will abuse the gifted athletes. They have always done it but only after the kids went pro, now they can do it a few years earlier, Also, watch out for the IRS, I understand they are going to want a piece of the action just like the gravy-trainers!

Where’s Jackie Coogan now that you need him.

I could use a financial advisor myself.

The kids steal the nicer cars from restaurant valet lots.

I see a lawsuit coming. Too many parents in these circumstances see either a cash cow for themselves or jump straight into financial misappropriation.

That must be LaVar Ball……….. or as he’s better known………..the Kardashian of the NBA.

That’s the job to get. Financial advisor to these NIL kids

There was a Denzel Washington movie called He Got Game. It also costarred Ray Allen. One of the themes of the film was how greedy family members wanted “a taste” of the money floating around player recruitment.

When I was in college I was making $3.35 an hour. And you could live on it.

Jackie Coogan is more famous today than he was during his lifetime
