Yes but I assume they are paying him now.It shouldn't because he'll be back to Nike when it matters
The NBA
Great question. My understanding is he can make a decision anytime between now and the start of next season.
Wow. That's ridiculous if true. Should be a deadline. Is he going to commit during warmups of the first game?
Not really a thing NIL‘s a new deal and they’re not gonna constrict a kid for one year they’re gonna let him go or he wants to go. He just has to wait to start getting that Nike endorsement. I could see him going to Kansas and then fight in like hell to wear Nikes to play in Nikes.
OP needed something negative to post. That's all.
I believe players have to take summer classes to play on the touring summer team & practice with team at school facilities. At least that’s the way it used to be.
Well he wasn't going to a new balance school
He was already playing for Duke, though. I think NB was happy to get him and it was I think, in effect after the season, too. I can't see how Nike nor Adidas would want a contractual agreement to end up with all three, the player, Nike and Adidas in court over this. But I could be wrong and it wouldn't be the first or last time it happens. Just makes zero sence to me, though and he's a pawn to either of those companies.
Idk, but I think he has to be enrolled academically at his school of choice before the academic deadline. That's way earlier than start of basketball season. But still months away
No he signed the deal with New Balance just before his freshman season at Duke
That's not how I remember what I read. Perhaps it went into effect after he left. Got a link? Still apples vs oranges comparing a home state New Balance to Adidas or Nike. Different hemispheres. But post a link. Maybe I'm wrong.
I think I'll go with what I remember. Thanks for your help making your "point" viable.
Are there any New Balance schools?
Ahh...I think you hit exactly on the real point. Thank you! Not the same as Adidas and Nike!
It's not going to be an issue anyways because I personally believe he's coming to Kentucky.
The five New Balance schools -Bryant University, Boston College (FBS), Merrimack College, University of Maine, University of Alaska Fairbanks. A bunch of powerhouses.
You're an idiot! Read what's been said before you talk about me like a holier than thou pos! As I remembered it, there was a reason why the New Balance deal didn't apply. Isn't that the gist of this? Then another poster correctly stated that New Balance doesn't have any schools, so there was no conflict of interest. So really, he was the only one that brought up the true and correct point why it didn't matter for NB and Super Fagg to have a contract, regardless of the date it was signed nor when it went into effect.
Cooper Flagg reportedly signed a $13 million Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal with New Balance during his single season at Duke. This partnership established him as a signature athlete for the brand and was part of a total estimated $28 million in NIL earnings during his freshman year.
Ok, so Nike and Adidas had to fend against those few schools. Seems like a fair fight to me.
Flagg was on ads for New Balance even during Duke games .He was only required to sport NIKE GEAR during official Duke functions. He wore NB GEAR otherwise.
