I thought foreign students couldn't get NIL deals?

[kunsanvol]

With the news of ON chasing a NIL deal, I'm obviously wrong. Did things change?

They can make NIL deals as long as the school and State law agree.

NIL considerations for international student athletes

 

[cncchris33]

I believe that ON has a slightly different immigration status, perhaps. Maybe dual-citizenship? I think one of his parents is American.

Vescovi got NIL money this year, there are workarounds.

He needs a raise. We need him back.

What does the NCAA have to say about “workarounds”?

What does the NCAA have to say about “workarounds”?

That they’re permitted

Link?

 

[SGMVols]

It’s never been an NCAA issue. The concern with international athletes and NIL was based on federal law on international student visas, and whether or not NIL profiting would violate the terms of those visas.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Yes, it is legal. Just have to follow the rules.

No if he stays any longer he will be qualified for the state pension plan!!

 

[cwbytruckers]

So you saying you dont want him back?

You do realize Vescovi has only been here 3 1/2 seasons? Hasn’t even had a typical full career yet

 

[BACKDOC]

What, did they give the money to a certain blonde soccer player??

We are broadening our women's soccer recruiting base in Ohio. Featuring her in NIL ads across the mid-West.

Makes no difference to me. However I think it is time for him and all the covid guys to move on. I still like the game being played by "college age guys" not men who should be in the workforce or playing pro sports. I feel the same about all people in all sports that should move on with their lives and stop taking advantage of the system by "hanging on/around.

3 years 5 years makes no difference to me. How old is he? It's time for him to move on.

Santi is 21

 

[KTrain]

Santi is 21

21 is considerably younger that the average eligible graduating P5 athlete post Covid. When I was in college if a classmate was 25 like Stetson or Hooker to me as a student that would seem odd and old. It's a perception thing now 25 seems young to me but it is what it is.

Of the players with the extra years, Santi is the youngest because he got an early start (and joined midseason). JJJ and ON are listed as 22 and Uros 24.

Most (all? not sure) international students attend university under an F-1 or J-1 visa. The J-1 visa says you can only work on campus and only part time, which seems like it’d rule out income from NIL deals since that’s not a part time job with the university they’re attending.

Hummmm I thought he was much older.

Sorry but this is an extremely weird take... not sure how they'd be taking advantage of "the system" when they're putting blood (especially Santi he's always laying his body on the line), sweat, and tears while the University makes millions off of him with ticket sales watching him play.

Santiago was 21 years old vs Hendon who was 24 years old. I actually like seeing these older classman playing vs the game being dominated by one and dones.
