What if some tried to build a NIL deal that had a non compete clause?

I pay you 1 million to NIL for my car dealership. But you cant sign any other NIl deals?

How well do non compete things hold up in court?
 
Paulie is really insufferable. There are a hundred kids at newhouse that could do this job better.
Those kids on Newhouse in the Afternoon are terrible. Paulie brings entertainment value and pairs well with Steve for me. Ihatepaulie makes it a must listen for me, and even gets my wife to tune in.
 
Fran Brown on Trebor Pena's decision to enter the transfer portal: "First off I love the kid... We paid him enough, he was going to get paid more... There was some numbers that was asked of me that I didn't think we'd be able to do."

Fran Brown says he told the wideout that he would need to go after hearing about the numbers being offered. "I saw this coming before Spring Ball."

"Imma be there to help you after next season is done."

Fran Brown says some players around the country ask for outrageous numbers, but that he isn't in the business of paying players more than all of the coordinators."We ain't payin' nobody two million this year."

Fran Brown says Rickie Collins' injury is not a concern moving forward and he'll be back playing in the summer.

Fran Brown on other coaches tampering with Syracuse players."You better stop... I'm not gonna tell on you, I'm gonna come at you."

"We're still going to go get another quarterback with MJ entering the portal. "Fran Brown says Syracuse will add another QB.

Fran Brown says he wouldn't be surprised if at least ten more Syracuse players enter the transfer portal. Says it is due to the team's depth as well as the expectations he has for all of his players, whether they're starters or backups.

Interesting tidbit that may get missed, Pena was allegedly concerned about repeating his #s from last year for the draft next year with out McCord. Confirms that QB play concerns while certainly not the reason he left, did play a small role along with NIL (clearly the majority)
 
I don't think that's entirely accurate. Any WR would be worried about a dip in production when the nations leading passer leaves. Noone expects Rickie to do what kyle did. Combine that with the schedule and most stats are going to drop even if Collins is great

Also you have a very proven OC who is certainly going to change the look and feel based on personnel

I don't think Collins is going to be asked to throw 40/50/60 times a game like mccord was

McCord is a freak. He's been a professional QB since he was 10 years old. He's the outlier so you trust him to throw it 100 times if ya needed
 
wow this inteview! Just freaking wow. Be sure all to watch it. Holy moly, this guy

Trebor is about trebor but said not in a bad way, some are leaders some are not, want to take a team on ones back, some are not more concerned with ones individual future, simple as that. No hard feelings, he gets it, people are people. Further Reading between the lines trebor thinks he needs to maximize $ right now and Collins may not be able to be at mccords level is his concern. Fran understands his need to secure his future to maximize those chances given all the variables at play and wishes him well. Will vouch for him too when the time comes.

Never seen a more transparent coach. How can I or we not support this guy in his endeavors. I'm officially schizophrenic on my support. Back in. Karma, in that I never ever can catch these interviews, didn't catch one in the spring season and missed the spring game due to NIL depression/apathy, etc., but all the planets aligned for me to unexpectedly catch it, think for a reason. Gonna keep two of my five tix, decision made.

edit: LOL he literally just talked to us fans after I wrote the above, me in particular saying he "gets you're up and down with us, understands that", LOL, adding in he so loves and appreciates Syracuse and in particular Syracuse fans. Best he's ever seen or words to that effect. Wow. This guy
