'24 TN DB Boo Carter (Tennessee)

[Vol since 77]

I'm about to sign him to a deal for D1 Training Chattanooga. Hoping to close the deal with his pops this afternoon!

Wear a UT shirt when you close the deal

Wear a UT shirt when you close the deal

I told his dad I will never try to steer him to one college or another…BUT I just wanted him to know that if he did decide to go to Tennessee, that I could quickly plug him in with some deals, that would make him a lot of money.

I haven't kept up in quite some time, but is Bartholomew still involved with D1?

He is. Not as active as he once was, but he’s still definitely a D1 guy.

I hope they do this correctly. TSSAA is sending all kids of updates to coaches about the rules. They aren’t making it easy on the athletes. They sent us this today.
TSSAA Amateur Rule FAQ

1. Can an athlete post a link to a business they are receiving payment for sponsoring if there are references to the school in their social media profile where the link appears?
No. References to the school or pictures depicting the athlete in their uniform may not appear in the post containing a link to the sponsoring business.
2. Can a coach or other school official facilitate, coordinate, promote, or negotiate an NIL agreement for a student-athlete enrolled at his/her school?
No. A school can provide generic educational materials or advice regarding the factors that should be considered before entering into an NIL deal but should never be involved with coordinating, facilitating, promoting, or negotiating agreements for student-athletes.
3. Can a booster club or other school support organization make payment to a student-athlete for the use of his or her name, image, or likeness?
No. Payment from a school booster club could reasonably suggest the endorsement or sponsorship of the TSSAA school.

4. Can a school or school support organization distribute money for services to a student through a Name, Image Likeness Collective?
No. School association with a collective would be considered express or implied sponsorship or endorsement of the activity.

5. If an athlete wishes to give private lessons or run a mini camp using school facilities and advertises the lesson or camp, is he/she in violation of the Amateur Rule by mentioning the school as the host site in the advertisement?
Yes. Students may receive payment for activities not related to performance provided that they are carried out in a manner that does not suggest the endorsement or sponsorship of a TSSAA school. To avoid the inference or suggestion that the school endorses or sponsors the activity, the school should not be mentioned in the advertisement. The student may, of course, inform those who contact him or her about the location of the lessons or camp, but that location – if it is a member school – should not be mentioned in any advertisement. If a student is using a school’s facility for instructional purposes, he or she should be treated the same as any member of the student population regarding usage agreements, fees, etc.

6. Are there limits as to how much an athlete can make from an endorsement or sponsorship?
No.

7. Are there limits as to how much an athlete can charge for giving lessons or putting on a camp?
No.

8. Can a coach of a school assist an athlete who is giving lessons or putting on a camp?
No. A coach’s assistance would reasonably suggest support or endorsement by the school.

9. Are there restrictions as to the types of businesses athletes can sign NIL agreements with?
Not at this time.

10. Would it be a violation if an athlete and his/her family were offered a residence as a result of an NIL agreement after he/she had enrolled in and attended a school?
This would be a recruiting violation if a school was involved.

11. Does a school have to document its athletes’ NIL activities?
Not for the purposes of TSSAA. However, school officials may wish to maintain an awareness of those activities in order to ensure that the activities do not suggest the endorsement or sponsorship of the school.

12. If a coach is contacted by a community member seeking a pitcher/receiver/setter/etc. to provide lessons to their child, could the coach direct them to one of his/her players?
No. A coach directing someone to one of his/her players for this purpose would reasonably suggest endorsement or sponsorship of the school.

No way these rules are broken.

How'd the meeting with his dad go today? Do you think you will close the deal with him? I like the idea of all these recruits getting NIL deals with training groups and things related to athletics like D1

 

[peaygolf]

Gonna be several ineligible hs players in 2023-24

This is going to be a fiasco. Rule #1 is going to be broken repeatedly.

He is. Not as active as he once was, but he’s still definitely a D1 guy.

“Hi this is a local teenager in your area telling you to come on down to Bill’s Tire Barn for all your tire needs. I can’t tell you where I go to school or why you should know me but trust me when I tell you to trust Bill’s Tire Barn for all your tire needs. I may seem just like some random 17 year old to you but trust this teenager when it comes to safely driving your family down the road. Trust Bill’s Tire Barn.”

What is the youngest age D1 accepts?

In Hardin Valley, we've got a rookie class for 7-11 year olds. We've have parents sign kids up for personal training as young as three, but I don't know if I'd recommend that.

“Hi this is a local teenager in your area telling you to come on down to Bill’s Tire Barn for all your tire needs.

I may seem just like some random 17 year old to you but trust this teenager when it comes to safely driving your family down the road. Trust Bill’s Tire Barn.”

Most companies will only hire a kid if they really believe they'll get a decent ROI. So I don't see Bill's Tire Barn hiring a kid, when the kid's followers aren't in that their target demographic.
UT had me come speak to a class full of athletes to explain NIL from the business perspective. I think a lot of them don't understand that they won't be hired for a deal just because the person is a fan. They probably are a fan, but the reason they're hiring them is because they think the athlete will help their marketing efforts.
For example, I'm not wanting Boo Carter because he might be a Vol. I'm wanting him because he's got over 16k followers on Instagram, and I really need to build the brand awareness for our D1 Training in Chattanooga.
I also just talked with them about general business communication. Like, "bet" isn't a proper response to an offer

“Hi, this is Trevor Lawrence. If you don’t know me, you prolly don’t have the brainwidth to find Discount Tires…much less the aptitude required to complete a financial transaction. Errybody else meet me between 1:00 and 2:45 this Saturday…then I have a hair appointment. “

So starting in January, he'll come work out regularly at D1, and he will post about it on social a few times.

He's in!!

I asked when he was going to commit. His dad said he's about to publicly narrow it down to five and then he'll probably officially commit at some point in January.

I worked in transportation and logistics in the Chattanooga area for almost 30 years. There is a lot of NIL potential in this market segment IMO
