I just can’t help to see it completely different from the other side. I just don’t have good feel about it, especially something THAT expensive! I’m sure he’s doing something in return right? Or does he just have to drive it around and that’s marketing for the company? Seems like if he needs a car anyway, that he would need to do more than just drive this full time as a benefit. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think there would still be taxes related to the lease value of the vehicle...not that I expect a car dealer in Kentucky to properly report that. If he gets audited, I hope there are IU and Louisville fans in his IRS team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t help but think, some of those students walk around campus with their nose in air. I remember back in the 80’s, a rich kid at Martinsville high school driving a brand knew Datsun 280z that his parents bought him for his birthday. He walked around that school with his “popped” Izod collars, acid washed-peg legged jeans and boat shoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to help the team by giving cool stuff to players. I'm sure there are tax implications, if nothing else, he is taking in the equivalent of a free lease. But, I'm sure the dealership, or some other booster, can just cover that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I thought the NIL required using your likeness or your name for something. It seems like just giving a kid a car is not what the rule is for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His picture could be in a brochure or commercial in that area as well. Clemsons QB DJ U. already has 2 commercials, one with ATT and can’t remember the other.

I'm late to the party (so sorry if I'm not addressing your concern), but the UK player getting a car (leased or otherwise) could be for simply showing it off on social media. Influencers can make anywhere from a couple thousand to millions (depending on their following) just for one post. If a company wants to "overpay" the Influencer for the post, that's within their rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what should be happening. I hope we have car dealerships that want to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
