So, there was a Florida alumni lawyer/law professor on SiriusXM ESPNU First Team this morning.  He actually worked on the Florida bill, negotiated the softball twins Boost contract and helped negotiate the Miami team deal.  A few interesting things from him: 1) He's very concerned about players signing contracts that devalue their brand such as those that give little or no money in return for their likeness, 2) players need to be careful in signing away rights, ins some cases in perpetuity (something we've seen with the Carrier Dome), to companies, 3) keep in mind state laws, and by the NCAA, still forbid pay-for-play type contracts, (and this is now backed by the force of law in those states that have NIL legislation) and 4) University of Florida has a big deal coming down that will benefit all UF players and even the coach.

He also expects that many big corps will start stepping into the NIL fray in the coming months, but don't expect them to reduce their support to the school's athletic programs.  Instead, he believes their deals will be additive to what they currently do.  There was some worry about that when the Florida laws were being crafted.
