Eddie said he’ll have his game on his IG Live.

What exactly makes this pro am?

 

[General20]

This might be a stupid question but are the college players the pros or the amateurs?

I mean with them getting paid to play in college now, I'd say that's basically pros.

 

[Orangezoo]

There are pros playing in the league too along with college kids

 

[rrlbees]

Eddie isn’t playing yet… maybe they are running behind.

Edit: I just saw in the comments that JJ and Eddie chose not to play because of the humidity of the court.

Out of curiosity, why are the cuse players all on different teams? Seems like this could have been an opportunity for a sort of version of Boeheim’s Army but more importantly, a chance for these future teammates to start playing together.

Might be an NCAA rule against it.

Otherwise, we'd just play in some Tavern League YMCA tournament.

The venerable St. Joe's court isn't up to snuff?

Smart. No reason to risk injury.

Not to be an ass or anything, but from an NIL standpoint, what happens if one of these guys gets hurt playing in something like this?

If you pay an athlete X amount of money to play this upcoming season, and they hurt themselves in non university related activites beforehand, do you still owe them NIL?

I would assume so, they're not playing contracts and when they were signed I dont think they universities could be affiliated with NIL at all. Between the player and the other party, im assuming all of this throwing random stuff I remember reading.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

When are they supposed to play next?

You don’t pay an athlete X amount to play. You pay them in order to use their name, image, and likeness for marketing of public service type of events.

I mean yeah that’s what the brochure says but…

Ahh good point.

But still... lol

 

[orangenauburn]

They didn't play because of the conditions of the Court

 

[PeteCalvin]

I thought that facility was air conditioned. There weren’t many in the CYO league that were, but I think that was since it was a newer facility back in the 90’s.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Well then contracts with clauses will be next. All it’ll take is the first player getting a season ending injury in one of these or other non “sanctioned” events and it’s a wrap. Too much $ at stake

So if Aaron Rogers blows out his Achilles, you think his sponsors get out of paying him?
