This might be the single worst thread I've seen on here.
Well TWOOO things you should probably know!!!!
1) I don't mess around up in here when it comes to IOWA Wrestling!!!!
2WOOOO) April fools day falls on a leap year in 2026!!! Therefore it will be technically April fools day for 83% of the time till next year!!!
I don't see Ono leaving Penn State.
One of the interesting things that people don't think about though is that all international athletes are on F-1 visas. That means that they cannot receive NIL or Rev Share without losing their visa. The only pay that they can receive is for internships within their potential career field...and even that comes with a ton of restrictions and oversight.

I can tell you with 100%, verifiable confidence that the NCAA is aware of it. They send out communication annually to every NCAA athletic department about it.
It's not worth going through all of the various restrictions, but there are basically only 2 types of visas that international NCAA student athletes would qualify for (F-1, J-1). About the only work allowed for either is an on-campus job (up to 20 hrs, and heavily restricted on what qualifies as a "job") or for an internship (up to 40 hours per week and a ton of additional paperwork). Neither can receive NIL payments or revenue share without losing their visas. Those payments are considered unauthorized compensation and any attempts to pay them will get both the student athlete and the school in hot water. Failure to comply could see the school lose the ability to sponsor international students for like 5 years...and international students are a university cash cow so they're not going to risk that.
Word is that Brands demanded Endene's first born as tribute.
No no NO!!! That was a rumor only!!! The Brands just wanted him to name the baby after them. It would be Tom B. if a boy or Terry B. if it was a girl!
Apparently you didn’t watch the Iowa-Illinois elite eight game. They said Illinois has a specific person on staff in charge of foreign players and figuring out how to make things work. I’m quite certain they didn’t come here after military service and playing pro basketball at home for the education.
You part of krailures sick twisted demented criminal sex games over in LowLyingSwampValley eh???? Oh-No is LEAVING as are some others AHAHAHAHHAAH!!!
apparently back home to Sweden
He misses skiing in the alps.
I didn't actually. I basically only follow Iowa wrestling.
I would definitely like to learn more about what exactly that person is doing to keep things above board. Do you happen to remember the guy's name or staff position title? About the only thing I could think of to keep it above board is work to identify potential NIL opportunities inside of that athlete's home country. There aren't really waivers or anything as it relates to student visa holders and no collegiate athlete can qualify for a P-1 visa while competing at the NCAA level.
Honestly I’m not really sure where I saw it but I thought it made a lot of sense if there’s a way to make it work. Not to make this about PSU but I assume Ono is getting something isn’t he? Maybe not?
Ono’s family is one of the largest soy sauce manufacturers in the world. Anything PSU could possibly pay him if they could - they can’t - would be like pocket change for the weekend for him.
When people have money like that, they are not making decisions on what they want to experience based on factors that are relevant to someone like you or me e.g. money.
For what it's worth, Soy Sauce is a GOOD thing!
My guess is that if he is making anything, it is coming from a Japanese endorsement, only airing in Japan, where the money gets deposited into a Japanese bank account. Penn State may or may not have helped him with it, but none of that can flow through a US company, bank account, or happen inside the US. Big no-no.
Iowa has been able to give Aussie punters NIL/rev share $$$. I don't remember how but there is an ethical and legal way to do it. I want to say it had something to do with them being in their country of origin when the money is paid.
That may work. There may be another few potential ways to do it. I honestly don’t know. I just know that no school is going to risk losing their ability to sponsor international students over any student athlete so anything done is going to be within the letter of the law.
International students can and do get jobs on campus that are not within their potential career field. Dining hall, library, residence commons, campus security, clerical work, etc. I'm not sure what the regulations are for off campus/non-university jobs.
F1 student visas limit international students to a max of 20 hours of work a week at their college/university or in a job directly related to their major. The vast majority who do work are employed by their college because finding a job as an under grad student directly related to your major is very difficult.
First, it's weird that this part of the topic is still continuing. I did it to myself. It happens.
Second, the only work that they can do on a student visa is as follows: school jobs where the employer is the university that they attend (dining, housing, sanitation, student union, etc.), career field part time jobs, career field internships, career field co-ops, campus research (grad level and above). Anything associated with "career field" gets scrutinized and evaluated prior to employment starting with plenty of excess paperwork. There are extremely strict hours limitations (no more than 20/week for all campus jobs and part time career field work) and no more than 40 hours per week for internships, co-ops, and research assistant work. I can tell you with 100% confidence that this is heavily scrutinized and monitored.
I can also tell you that if you have an international intern that works even an extra .5 hours over their limitation that you will hear about it from the university and if you have someone work more than about 2 hours beyond their limit, you will have to fill out extra paperwork to be filed with US Immigration basically stating "I'm an idiot that lost track of their hours, please don't take away their student visa". I'm a bit of a self-taught expert on that one.
How many times does it need to be pointed out that they can and go get NIL?
A US visa does not prevent them from going to another country to do the NIL work and get paid.
