10. "He just needs a big co-sponsor." In response to Reply # 7
Plenty of apparel companies that aren't in the NCAA game that may see some real potential there-- especially if they think big-name prospects may actual play in LaVar's league. That way, they can get their claws in future stars early.
BBB can't do it alone, sadly. But I bet he could find a couple of willing co-sponsors.

14. "Depends how badly the kids want to get paid right away." In response to Reply # 12 Fri Dec-22-17 06:45 PM by Frank Longo
There are obviously a ton of logistical hurdles, but more and more kids are outspoken about the NCAA's exploitation of the athletes. Even once OAD is done away with (soon), there will be a tier of players not quite ready for the NBA who don't want to play college ball for free when they know they could earn, but Europe is too much of a logistical hassle and the G-League doesn't presently pay much at all. I think he could find 40 kids-- 4 teams of ten-- who want to explore this path. Most of them wouldn't be the stars, but he just has to find a couple of 4-star kids that he can promote the shit out of.
