    They came back and said that the entire baseball team would be signed up and all 35 would get a 10k guarantee for this year. That's pretty good.

    That they have to earn back for the agency and then they can collect for themselves. That's where signing the entire team helps. Will be tough to do though.

    The people I've talked to, seem pretty confident they will meet that number. I agree it won't be a layup

    going to need the higher profile players to produce so everyone else can get paid. someone like Jake Mangum would have been better going out on his own.

    overall seems like a good deal for MSU baseball and definitely for the majority of the players. Not sure if it's great for Landon Sims, Kam James, LoTan type players.

    Is there a non-compete or can they do other adventures as well? They better get a maximum number of events and such in writing otherwise it could lead to burn out being a disadvantage.

    If there is a non-compete then yeah the big time players will be better off not signing and doing there own thing which in turn will lead to ask the other players working for free if they don't reach their mark where they do earn the 10k

    Have to assume once they sign with TLG all deals will have to be thru TLG. There is a minimum number of events all players will be required to attend.

    If the firm doesn't raise the 350K they are paying out, it will be reduced the following year. It's only a 1 year deal. Have to assume we hit that number and hopefully more. TLG is definitely making that assumption.

    So for $350,000, they get the opportunity to share in the revenue for all on the team. Not a bad deal on either side, I suppose, as everyone has skin in the game.

    The two things that jumped out to me are:

    1) The school hires VanHorn to run NIL compliance, yet he leaves (I presume) to start this new venture...

    "VanHorn has worked at Mississippi State in a variety of roles. He spent some time on Coach John Cohen's staff as the director of baseball operations in 2016 and 2017. After completing his law degree at the University of Arkansas, VanHorn returned to Mississippi State to head up the University's NIL compliance efforts. VanHorn and his business partner Jackson Parker saw an opportunity to provide a greater benefit to student athletes with TLG."

    2) Wonder what happens to those who don't make the active roster because of injury? What happens if we sign a top pitcher who needs TJ at some point. Do they lose this since they technically won't be on the active roster?

    "The guarantee includes all players who make the active roster regardless of their scholarship status. To earn that money, student-athletes are required to license their NIL to TLG as well as provide a variety of other services such as a number of autographed items, work a certain number of camps, and attend a certain number of speaking engagements among other requirements."

    TLG will make a killing off this, but hopefully so do the student athletes!
