Your kid turned 18, packed for college, and suddenly—you’re legally a stranger. No access to their grades, medical info, or bank account. Not even in an emergency. Because legally? They’re an adult. Emotionally? They still don’t know how insurance works.

🤔 WTF is NIL: The Coach Isn’t Your Agent
Your coach might know the playbook—but when it comes to NIL, they’re not your agent, lawyer, or financial advisor.

💰 3 Things Every Athlete Should Actually Worry About with NIL
🧠 NIL Excerpt: "The $250 Post That Could Cost You Thousands"
You got paid to post a smoothie. Congrats.
But did you read the contract?
Did you set aside taxes?
Did you just give a brand lifetime rights to your face?
NIL is more than free merch and hype — it’s your business now.
And bad deals don’t just hurt your wallet. They hurt your eligibility, your reputation, and your future.
Before you sign, post, or promote anything... ask yourself:

👉 “Will I still be okay with this five years from now?”
👉 “Is this worth it — legally, financially, and personally?”
Because NIL doesn’t care how many followers you have.
It cares whether you’re paying attention.

🧃 Weaponized Juice Boxes & Custody Chaos: Welcome to Vibes-Based Parenting Plans
“Technically violating the order” is still violating the order.
It doesn’t matter if your co-parent should’ve known, if the weekend switch was “vibes-based,” or if you booked concert tickets before asking permission. That’s not co-parenting—it’s contempt bait.
And yes, the judge does care.
Think you’re just being flexible? The court might call it interference.
Spoiler: Screenshots and “per the decree” texts won’t save you from a contempt hearing.

Because someday, it just might be.
