Yup. No different than what we see from greedy players with greedy agents and family in the pros.
I don't look at it that way. It's business. You take calculated risks, sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes it doesn't. The kid is trying to get the most money he can, I really don't blame him.

never really seen telling the bosses "scheiss you, I'm bigger than you" as a successful approach.

That's what I mean by him not being too smart, he asked way over his value. He doesn't have the self awareness, probably because he's been puffed up about how great he is all his life.

Don't forget that there is an agent involved in this, who would normally be aware of the limits to which he can wring money out of the suckers across the table. However greedy the kid, or his family may be, it is the agent who has the job of reining them in so that he gets paid, too.

That has limits. If a client refuses to listen, it can cause problems. Also, depends on who the "agent" is. There are those firms that have representatives who would be considered legit in the business. But it possible that NIL has brought the less than capable and less than legit out of the woodworks.

I heard that college agents get 25%. In the NFL it is something like 3%.

In The Courting of Marcus Dupree, Fred Akers said there is always an “Uncle Curly,” quick with lousy, self-serving advice for these kids.

Oh, there are some utter scumbags out there. What is feeding the fire are the lies these agents tell the Media, who breathlessly repeat everything they are told...
