'23 NJ OT Chase Bisontis (Texas A&M Verbal)

[Ricochet]

If I remember correctly Chase really liked ND but once they told him he's an IOL rather than the OT that he thought he was, he quickly soured on them.

Someone asked Loy they had heard some rumblings yesterday and he said he is looking into it.

This makes me chuckle

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Looks like we made his top 25.

Which is to say ND was one of 25 teams to “reach out”

I’m no OL expert & have never watched him but I suspect he was Freshman AA b/c he was simply a starting freshman. Read a lot of comments from fans that believe he‘s better suited at guard but who knows?

Has removed his name from portal now

I’m surprised this isn’t turning into a bigger story about his reason for returning to A&M. His NIL deal with them essentially forced him to leave the portal as there was a stipulation in it that any additional earnings he makes in college outside his deal with their collective must be paid back to the collective. I don’t have the full details, but seems like an extra shady situation that we’re seeing more of these days

Good. It’ll burn some of these money hungry bitches. It’s like a sign on bonus for most public safety anymore. You get so much money but if you leave in a time frame you have to pay it back.

Not feeling any sympathy for anyone here

Don’t feel any sympathy for him but these are the shady deals these collectives are locking naive 17 year olds into. Promising them big money pay days, only giving them a fraction of it, and preventing them from maximizing their worth. These are the type of things I wish would become bigger stories because A&M is not alone in it.

Blame the parents, family, agents etc.

Agreed but at the time there were plenty of articles sounding the warning bells and likely less shady schools recruiting him told him same. They chose not to listen. Now he is getting multiple educations at TAMU and probably none of them are gleaned from his pseudo online classes

Yup his parents that are supposed to be helping him, are screwing him by taking money to help theirselves.

And I do agree let more stories come out like this. Show the world that schools and coaches do care about the kids and not just getting the best recruits Benjamin’s.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I was about to post a rant on how there needs to be contracts to go along with NiL.

But the current system is working great for us.

It's a bad deal but naive or not, they still scored really big money to go to that school. Kids should have to honor the agreement or pay some/all back if they bolt. It could be prorated based on years, whatever. This is a very free market so I expect it'll work itself out in the coming years. I don't want kids to sign dumb contracts but I also want kids to learn which schools are predatory and which aren't.

Chase, while wanting to earn more money, is still making a lot to play for A&M. He ain't hurtin. I'm sure he could take it to court to get a settlement if he believes his value is that much higher than his original payout.

This is another point in ND's favor.

As long as there are fools that only see the $ signs, this stuff will continue, which means it's never going to stop because the fools are a plenty out there.

I wonder how these deals are worked out in the beginning for incoming freshmen. I’m no lawyer, but I know enough about contracts that in most (if not all) states, a contract with someone under the age of 18 can be considered unenforceable and therefore not legally binding. Do these collectives wait until the kid turns 18 before they make these deals? If not, it’s only a matter of time before it would blow up in their face.

Yeah, but if you "ratify" the contract after turning 18 (and that can include simply accepting the benefits of the contract) then it usually is enforceable after that, as far as I know. But the details vary by state and I wouldn't be surprised if Texas and New Jersey law is different on the point. So where the suit is filed would matter too, because that would affect which law would apply.

Imaleava's NIL lawyer was vocal about deals like this in the ad that The Athletic wrote for him.

Imaleava has a last name made for the transfer portal.

I tend to side with the business on this one. Kids trying to leave a year after being in school. Sorry there has to be at least some level of commitment

 

[NDMatt91]

This might sound harsh, but I don't feel bad for him at all. He chose to go to a mediocre and underachieving program just because he thought their collective would give him the most money directly out of HS. He doesn't strike me as a very bright kid.

I read a slightly different rumor in that the situation was that if he left and went to another school any money he’d get from his new schools NIL collective would have to be paid to TAMU’s collective

Not sure that would be enforceable. It seems the new school would have to want the kid pretty badly to agree to pay the old NIL and then pay the kid as well. What could be enforceable, is that the player has to repay out of his pocket some or a portion of monies he had received if it was given to him against future obligations. Where are our resident attorneys?
