Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford joined Cameo two months ago, a site where fans can pay for personalized videos. He revealed this week that he would donate all proceeds during the season to Brothers and Sisters of America, 501 non-profit organization. Its mission is to "create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth."

"Hi guys, I'm Sean Clifford. I play quarterback at Penn State,” he said in a video of himself posted to Twitter. “I think that the Brother Big Sister program is one of the best in the country. It gives you the reassurance of what you're doing really matters, because you have that one on one connection with a kid. I got to meet a kid out of Cincinnati, Ohio — where I'm from — and I still connect with him to this day. He's helped me grow as a man, and somebody who I feel like I can look up to myself and to see the excitement on my little brother's face when we're doing something fun. It means the world to me.

“So now I asked you to take part in what I've been a part of for years now, whether that be donating some money to the youth service bureau, Big Brother Big Sister, or joining yourself and experiencing what I have experienced over the past few years. These young kids need mentors, and that could be you. So please take the time, donate, be a part of it, whatever it may be for you to help your community and just grow as a person.”

Florida Panthers offer NIL deals to all female athletes at Florida Atlantic University

The Florida Panthers NHL team offered endorsement deals Wednesday morning to every female college athlete at nearby Florida Atlantic University.

The Panthers established an "FLA Athlete" program this summer after the state of Florida passed a law that makes sure college athletes are allowed to make money from their names, images and likenesses (NIL). The NCAA has also changed its amateurism rules to allow athletes to accept payment for certain activities without losing their eligibility.

The deal will pay each athlete some cash along with tickets to Panthers games and other merchandise in exchange for promoting the NHL franchise on social media and at in-person events. The two athletes who generate the most buzz on social media during the season will also receive a four-figure bonus payment. Sam Doerr, the Panthers' chief strategy officer, said the franchise saw the deals as an opportunity to give back to the community and as an outside-the-box way to attract a new, young and diverse fan base.

"We thought this was a terrific opportunity to attract new fans," Doerr said. "We already spend money with social media influencers, so we're just shifting that to the athletes."

In the past week, TiVo offered an endorsement deal to all of Georgia Tech's football players and United Wholesale Mortgage offered to pay every member of Michigan State's football and men's basketball program $500 per month.

Just sayin': If I was a student-athletic I think I'd rather have $500 a month than Panther tickets/merchandise......:lol:

Yeah, you have to give Clifford credit.

With that said, given the recent (ahem) history of the program, not sure Big Brother Big Sister was the most politically savvy choice.

With some no-name teams doing really well so far this season, and with ALL of the teams that have the most 5-star athletes having significant struggles on at least one side of the ball, I have to wonder if NIL isn't involved here.

Full disclosure: I'm on record that this is a moral issue; players should have had this right a long time ago. I am also on record saying unintended consequences are inevitable. None of that has changed.

I do have to wonder, given the results so far, if NIL hasn't created a little bit of locker-room-poison though among some of the bigger programs.

This is not something that is really knowable until years down the line in my opinion. So I am definitely NOT saying that this IS what is happening. I'm just saying it seems like a possibility. If it's not the case, we'll never know for sure. If it is the case, we might know for sure in about 10 years.

Love me some OSU/college football, but morality and ethics left the building a long time ago.

"(It's) wild stuff man," Meyer told reporters Wednesday when asked about NIL deals in NCAA athletics. "The guy never played a snap and gets $1.5 million. I imagine getting him to go to Sociology 101 is not easy. Once again, that's not my issue."

Another step towards full pay-to-play "employees of the university" status for college athletes.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news...m=social&utm_source=facebook,linkedin,twitter

Interestingly, it only applies to private colleges for the moment. Prepare your anus, Notre Dame. Although that place is such a fucking cult, watch them end up the only private college where the football players don't unionize and demand to be paid.

The National Labor Relations Board’s top attorney issued a memo Wednesday asserting that athletes at private colleges qualify as employees under federal labor law, entitling them to the same protections as other private sector employees, including the right to unionize.

In the memo, NLRB general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo wrote that federal laws and NLRB policies “fully support the conclusion that certain Players at Academic Institutions are statutory employees, who have the right to act collectively to improve their terms and conditions of employment.”

Essentially, it declares that athletes at private colleges are covered by the National Labor Relations Act, a foundational statute that guarantees the right of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining and take collective action such as strikes.

That's quite the pivot considering the NLRB rejected Northwestern's case just six years ago with a unanimous 5-0 decision.

well, given that i’m sure they will be told the following:

“It’s the devil that wants you to do these things if you unionize and demand money you will be damning your soul to an eternity in the hellfire”…

between that their coach has killed a kid, allowed fucked up goons on his team to terrorize a girl to the point where she committed suicide … not to mention those Pedo priest ended up somewhere … all plays that vote to unionize will be seen to confession
