    Thanks for the info Randolph. I let autocorrect come up with Pantene but now I know better, appreciate that. I took IP in law school so I realize the risk. It is virtually zero. Iā€™m willing to listen to anyoneā€™s argument about how IP use during a NIL ā€œjobā€ will threaten UTs IP but I canā€™t promise I wonā€™t giggle the entire time.

    Yess!! I havenā€™t found anyone else that noticed this. It fucks us on several levels. I vaguely alluded to it but this is insane. I think thereā€™s a better argument for letting the kids wear their IP. They wonā€™t even let them autograph pictures of the campus. Weā€™ll at least align with the ags on one thingā€”an amendment to our damned NIL statute. Hell, just repeal itā€”weā€™d be better off.

    I disagree with Gerry on this a little, and told him why. For Texas, it will depend on the specific contracts with UTs partners. So weā€™re a Nike school but kids canā€™t endorse Nike, okay. But can they endorse Reebok then, a competitor to Nike. What about Adidas? You canā€™t restrict them from shoe endorsements entirely. It might be in Nikes best interest to just reword their contract and allow for endorsements. second, Texas NIL is different than every other states. Iā€™ve read several state laws but not Oregonā€™s so I dunno how it works up there especially considering the Longstanding and close relationship between Nike and Oregon. so most precisely the answer is what state law governs then how does a particular school in the state deal with it. and if the state has no law the school can do whatever the fuck it pleases

    Itā€™ll all depend on if he gets more exposure here vs anywhere else. More popularity more money.

    Agree. Problem is he canā€™t sign any until heā€™s enrolled in school. Iā€™m sure his advisers will be able to give him some decent estimates tho.

    Nope, same as money generally. They are taxed the same as a money transaction except in rare cases (e.g., real estate in-kind exchanges). Huuuge tax loophole for the wealthy.

    Not sure why NIL would end up in this situation. Further, I was an estate attorney for five years and this is very uncommon. A simple trust and power of attorney would solve almost every case. Enlighten me where this is occurring (Texas?) because Iā€™ve never even heard of it. I mean it makes sense but there are lots of ways to deal with these things. Itā€™s always a last resort for the court to take away someoneā€™s property rights.

    Not an expert on IP but I would think a close orange with no other branding would be okay. The school may not agree though. Fuck it, trademark your own Pantene orange #54344, or however they define these colors. The overzealousness protecting UTā€™s brand is dumb on several levels (IMO)

    Longtime stalker, first time poster. Iā€™m a UT alum attorney that has been studying NIL for fun. Because Iā€™m a nerd. Iā€™ll chime in (or not) if yā€™all have any questions I think I can answer. starting here, not sure if poster is being sarcastic but student athletes can (and should) have agents. I wouldnā€™t touch their taxes on my own. They will be complicated with novel issues. Prolly an accountant for all and a tax attorney for the big earners. Their issues are miles away from 1080EZ and most small businesses tax complexity.
