Which is horse crap. If these kids are basically semi pro then they should be forced to honor their agreements or forfeit their earnings. No way anyone should be able to get paid and then just leave like that.

If the kids can take the money, leave and face no recourse then blame the moron who wrote the contract. The contractual nature of NIL is one of the parts that continues to just baffle me. It's so simple to write any contract and the enforcement mechanism has existed for ages (courts of law).

Now, that said, if the NIL contracts get more grown up, then the players are going to need to have an agent which seems to freak people out so that will be fun.

The point is there is never supposed to be agreements to “keep these kids” anywhere. The pay to play is the issue. Stay and we will pay but if not you aren’t required to accept? How is this different than Anthony Davis signing a max contract and then demanding a trade without playing? This is supposed to be a loss for the investor. Which is why it’s going to drop drastically in $$$$ sooner than most people realize. That being said. Kids should be able to sign a commitment any time they want and be held accountable to that commitment. If they aren’t signed, then they can be recruited against until they get somebody to sign a letter of intent. Kids have all of the power right now. That needs to change. Once signed LOI they should be able to begin collecting NIL and if the business gets screwed then, that’s on them
