Experts raise red flags about new NIL company
A new company is offering college athletes upfront cash in exchange for a portion of their name, image and likeness deals, an arrangement some consumer protection experts and financial advisers say could prey on young athletes.
Just discovered this. Looks like Scotty is one of the first few basketball clients of NILLY, a venture capital style firm that gives amateurs cash advances in return for a cut of their future NIL earnings.
The other players listed on the website include Dior Johnson and Mikey Williams - players with very checkered pasts with a host of legal issues.
Linked to an ESPN article that details the various legal and moral issues the company faces - feels pretty predatory overall.
Two questions - what caused Scotty to take the money and how does this impact him staying at the Hall moving forward?
