The NBL should give Aaron Brooks a job

Brooks has played for how long in Australia?

Long enough to feel attached enough to the league and country to be some sort of ambassador/mentor/something else?

I honestly can’t see any reason for him taking on this sort of role, and passionately representing the NBL.

Why would I be joking? Public sentiment has been turning against the NCAA for years now, to the point where state governments have started putting forward bills that would mandate payment for college athletes. This was coming whether Next Stars happened or not.

Next stars is not dead yet still some life left in the intuitive. It's working that well the NCAA are changing rules to counter it, not bad for a small league on the other side of the world.

The Next Stars program has nothing to do with what's happening in the NCAA right now.

"I think the NS is dead next year NCAA r going to pay college players"

No way. Not next year and in any event, possibly never (theres been nothing concrete to suggest that).

The California bill comes into effect in 2023 and it only allows college players to make profit of their name and likeness.

So it doesn't mean that schools have to play players. Basically just means that college players can hire agents and can deal with manufacturers like Nike etc to authorise them to sell their name and make money of it - buts it so unclear because by doing so, they are arguably using the schools own IP too. So very difficult legal questions around how it all works and there will be some big battles on it for sure; (USA love some litigation)

NCAA won't be paying athletes any time soon and in any event:

1. The NCAA and schools will make the practical application of the California law so hard and difficult to protect their own $ and brand - to try to disincentivise players to try it on;

2. If it becomes a problem (hurts their bottom line etc), the NCAA will just kick California schools out of the NCAA (which will put teams and players in line and will force other lawmakers not to follow through).

I certaiń think we shouldn't let him just go off back to America when we could utilise his intellect and experience and seems like a humble guy too so I hope LK has something up his sleve to keep Brooks involved in the NBL.
