  • Concussions and Contracts: Can Concern Over Long-Term Player Health Pave the Way to Greater Guarantees in Nfl Contracts?
    CONCUSSIONS AND CONTRACTS: CAN CONCERN OVER LONG-TERM PLAYER HEALTH PAVE THE WAY TO GREATER GUARANTEES IN NFL CONTRACTS? Mason Storm Byrd* Guaranteed money in an NFL player contract is often misrepresented when discussing the earnings of professional football players. Whenever an NFL player signs a new contract, purportedly setting a new benchmark and surpassing previous highs for compensation, reports of record guarantees dominate the news coverage. Lost in the reporting, however, is the actual guaranteed take-home pay of the player if the worst were to happen and he were to never play another down of football. In a sport riddled with injuries and short careers compared to other professional sports, the most important contract figure is not total compensation, but total guaranteed compensation. Unlike professional basketball and professional baseball, NFL players do not receive fully guaranteed contracts, meaning they play one of the most dangerous sports and do so with some of the least financial assurances. This is especially troubling in light of the recent revelations, research, and litigation focusing on head trauma in NFL players. Although there is certainly desire among NFL players to obtain larger guarantees in contracts, there has rarely been the will or ability to do so. NFL players are free to attempt to negotiate for larger guarantees on an individual basis with any team interested in their services, but history suggests that large sums of guaranteed money are reserved for only for the most elite players. Even then, guarantees rarely exceed 30–50% of the total compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is still opportunity for the players to negotiate for larger guarantees in contracts through means of collective bargaining when the NFL–NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement expires in 2021.

  • Nebraska Post-Game Notes #16 Nebraska Vs
    Nebraska Post-Game Notes #16 Nebraska vs. UCLA, Sept. 8, 2012, Pasadena, Calif. 4With the loss, Nebraska fell to 1-1 on the season, failing to win its first two games for the first time since 2004. The Huskers also lost their road opener for the first time in three season. With the loss, NU fell to 7-5 all-time against UCLA, including 3-4 in games against the Bruins in California and 3-2 vs. UCLA at the Rose Bowl. 4The loss also snapped Nebraska’s 10-game winning streak in the month of September. NU fell to 16-3 in regular-season non-conference games under Bo Pelini. 4Junior quarterback Taylor Martinez had a career-long 92-yard run for a touchdown in the second quarter to put Nebraska ahead 14-7. The 92-yard touchdown run was the longest run by a Nebraska player since Eric Crouch’s school-record 95-yard touchdown run at Missouri in 2001. It also tied for the fifth-longest rush in school history and was the second-longest ever by a NU quarterback. The 92-yard run bettered Martinez’s previous long rush of 80 yards on two occasions, at Washington in 2010 and at Kansas State in 2010. 4Martinez finished the game with 11 carries for 108 yards and one touchdown. The game marked the ninth 100-yard rushing game of Martinez’s career. The nine career 100-yard rushing games ties Jammal Lord for the second-most among Nebraska quarterbacks, trailing only Eric Crouch’s 17 career 100-yard rushing games.
