On July 1, 2021 global basketball rules changed with NIL agreements (name, image and ideals). On that day, the United States decided, after a decade of legal and political pressures, that university athletes can benefit financially to sell their rights to name, image and similarity through brands and companies. They will not abandon these rights as part of the terms of signing scholarship agreements. Or, what is the same, a piece of cake was granted to the American Sports University champions, which generate billions of dollars annually, in the same way that universities were ideal for attracting talents from abroad. However, the rule that makes the commitment to European and Spanish basketball quarries, as there are already 20 Spanish players competing for this tournament. In various conferences of NCAAThe other foreigners who were also formed in the nursery role in ACB.
Talent leakage is continuing, Caskaras Jakuchionius explained this summer when he left Barcelona to go to Illinois in search of the American dream, which is a road The new pearl is also Sair Saar. Guilllermo del Pino will do the same in a few months, and form in Unicaja, on the way to Louisville. A identical road took a few cycles álvaro FolgueirasThose who did not listen to the unicaga proposal to make a profession at home and that two weeks ago, the best player was appointed to his conference at NCAA; O Uday Mara, who immigrated in 2023 from Casadimon Zaraja to the University of California, Los Angeles –The case that is still awaiting the judicial decision Because the player had a contract with the club. Konrad Martinez and Ecker Garmondia Foundation, the last great quarry. They and many others are the example of Spanish basketball, which Al Qaeda denies before the American University’s strength and dollars.
On February 28, at the last club meeting of the Miss Champions League in Mays (Switzerland), Fiba headquarters, Antonio Lopez-Nit, UNICA President, Request a word transformation to raise the problem seriously. The majority of clubs are added to your complaint; The issue is already common in official forums. In particular, because in basketball there are no training rights – which occur in football, where everything is controlled by FIFA – and because Fiba does not work in transportation to the United States (the American League and Universities). “They cannot leave children between the ages of 16 and 17 without getting anything in return. We will have to reach a point in which we have provided the minimal transport operations of guaranteed fertilizers,” says Josep Copels, Barcelona Vice President.
“We are helpless. There is a hole in the global basketball ecosystem, and it absorbs talents and leaves us in a complete deficit,” says Jose Antonio Artgas, General Manager of Casademont Chagaza. Jordi Martin, Sports Director Joventut – “It is a topic that made me very hot due to sexual impotence and frustration, because Fiba must organize and protect the players and clubs that invest in the quarry,” regretted – Yoshi Asensio, General Manager of Trademarks and Institutional Relationships for StudentsThis indicates the legal void after years of training rights so that children under 16 years of age can move freely to where the family wants. “This is not negotiable.

But it is complicated because you cannot create an organizational framework between Fiba and the American market. “An agreement should be given, in addition to the Euroleague. But not only, but CSD should also participate Cubells and López-Nieto say, protects and bet on the quarry of our clubs.
Looking at this phenomenon that cannot protect themselves, clubs are already studying how to transform their quarry models. Change or rethink it. “The current model aims to train young people to reach the first team, but if a third party appears, it does not respect the conditions or contracts …” Asensio suggests. The situation that affects Joventut, which sold a young player for another team Governed by Fiba To compensate for accounts. “But this does not take us from the poor and lose the succession of the first team. We are considering closing the Joventut formation model. Martí does not take into account.”
Likewise, he thinks about Barcelona, where they are concerned that Saar takes the same direction to the United States. “Perhaps from now on, let’s wage more on the people of Catalonia, who wants to succeed in Barcelona and not see the club as a starting point,” Cubells summarizes. It is not very radical in Unicaga, although it also takes development. “We will not give up the quarry because he sealed our identity,” says Lopez-Nito. “In Casademont Zaragoza We will think about it. But we expect whether to organize, “Artigas Apostles.
At the present time, the only measure in the face of the inability of these players who went to domercy It is that the mother clubs have the right to merge them again into the team if they want to play again in the ACB. And if not if you go to another league or the American Professional League. The little thing and the distant choice that does not satisfy European clubs in their battle against American basketball.
