I think a lot of the bigger programs have in house advisors for athletes with significant NIL deals. They don’t want athletes getting in trouble with taxes and etc.
one thing I’m wondering is for big-time prospects how long until the state’s tax laws start becoming a recruiting advantage. I believe TN, TX, and FL don’t have state income taxes. I saw when the QB from TN transferred to UCLA, that even though the deals were similar in total amounts (2 vs 1.75 million/year) because of CA income taxes his take home is much, much less in CA than what it was.
Probably only a football and basketball issue though.
