A rookie for the Chicago Bears sued Big League Advance Fund to void a name, image and likeness, or NIL, contract that the National Football League player said requires him to fork over 15% of his pre-tax pro salary for 25 years to the speculative investment capital company.
Ivan Parron is an expert in sports law at Parron Law in Miami who is not involved in the matter in which the plaintiff, Gervon Dexter Sr., sued the defendant, Big League. Parron said the key here in this general area of law with little precedent is whether that extended term makes the contract voidable because “technically, that extended term does not involve NIL services.”
