Dark Energy Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 For example, a hypothetical — say I don’t want Starocci to win #5. Can I commit to pay $20k to any wrestler that legally beats Starocci in a championship bracket match at NCAAs? Maybe I crowd source the $20k. And the wrestler can knowingly and publicly take the money? Or does it have to be something a bit masked? Like announcing that if a wrestler accomplish’s this, I will give a $20k NIL deal to that wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Energy Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 Come on, I’m serious!! supposed could change it … and say any D1 college basketball player who first scores 60 points in a game next season will get $10k. Or come up with some other achievement. Is that fair cash to the player? No rules broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex1fly Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 No idea but hunch is that it’s legal for you to offer but less legal for someone to accept it. Also with no binding contract you wouldn’t actually have to pay anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassling Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 13 hours ago, Fletcher said: $10,000 to the first man who brings me Aaron Brooks' Bible! And you think that’s funny? Aaron is the man and I bet he would donate his own bible for your 10K only to distribute it to those who need it more than him. The hard working wrestling community needs more support, much more support from those with the connections. You obviously are connected to no one of importance.

nhs67 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 OP legit makes it look like he wants to pay someone to take someone out at the knees with that thread title. It should be something more along the lines of "Can I pay someone incentives for achieving specific results?" 1 "I know actually nothing.
