Hawkins NIL Deal

[Jorgensen]

Congrats to Jordan! Looks like he has a deal with CAA Sports. A quick read on them says they are a representative agency for some big names and brands, with their hand in many buckets of entertainment (sports, actors, etc)

Good for him.. Looks like the tattoo shops in Storrs have been making some money off of the Hawk!

CAA is one of the biggest agencies representing athletes in all of sports. I'm sure this is a good deal for Jordan and I'm sure he'll continue his representation with them when the time comes to declare for the draft.

CAA is probably the premeire talent representation agency in the world. It does way more than sports.

LOL at the “white out” of UConn off the jersey. I guess the school doesn’t want to appear affiliated with an NIL agent. Good for Jordan, though. I hope he gets some reasonably lucrative deals.

CAA is BIG TIME representation. Leon Rose was their head of basketball before he took the Knicks job. They have tons of premier talents under their umbrella.

Ya CAA is huge in entertainment in general. James Andrew Miller wrote and oral history of CAA after his ESPN and SNL books.

CAA is probably top 2/3 agencies in the world, so this has to be good news for his future prospects

Which is a bit odd because CT state law now says that UConn is allowed to partner with athletes so they can use school branding with NIL deals. I wonder why they wouldn't want to take advantage of that, unless they are waiting on the NCAA for guidance so they don't get screwed down the line

I wonder if CAA didn't want UConn in the announcement.

Maybe, I hadn’t thought about that. I thought branding with one particular agent might have the potential to be viewed negatively by others, but I’m just speculating.

Yeah it might be UConn that doesn't want to be affiliated with CAA. Who knows

Having just finished Season 4 of Stranger Things, for a second, I legit thought that this was a post about the Hawkins High basketball team.
