I get why he's doing it... but does he have actual expectations of getting paid right now? He was the 1751st ranked player coming out of high school in Lake City and doesn't have a stat, yet. I had to look him up and I actually watch USF football. 

Step 1: make a tackle

Step 2: cash endorsement check

Yoke claims 4000 athletes have "signed." They also have 3813 followers on Twitter. 

I had no idea who he is either but I may need to act fast and sign him before someone beats me to it.  This thing has the potential to be one big ***********.

From what a lot of the Tweets I've seen, proofreading is frowned upon ..... if not downright discouraged.

With all the dough rolling in from his Yoke endorsement, he should be able to hire a few staffers to handle these minor details

I googled him and still am not sure who he is ... other than the "Yoke" guy ... whatever that is

Still how are you going to sell a platinum level endorsement packages if you are giving it away in the base package?

This tweet made me realize it won't be long before pyramid schemes may try and target these players

And it will be the fault of the school, or the coach or FITB.

Perhaps all of college athletics crumbles because of this boneheaded idea and we can all do more creative things with our lives.

The new rules will allow athletes to profit by monetizing social media accounts, signing autographs, teaching camps or lessons . . . Athletes will be allowed to sign with agents or other representatives to help them acquire endorsement deals.

 

WOW - I wonder how this will affect things like fan fest among other things.  Why would a USF football player sign autographs with the team when they could sell them

Prob be like going to a strip club...take a lot of dollar bills with you..

Sex has always been free with cows - at least in my experience.

Literally yes, figuratively not so much, especially if you have to feed her first.

This is what I love about the Bullspen - open discussion of important educational topics with no apparent discrimination based on Neck Shade

Thanks Bowman and for being a scholar-athlete as well, most of us are here trying to make our fine preeminent institution better by engaging in some of the most important topics facing this ever changing world. I do this for the kids and feel my altruistic efforts are making a difference, it is nice to be recognized, happy 4th everyone!
