She can sign with anyone she wants now. She losing out on money day by day. Poor management
Except she can’t. Why do you still not understand this?
If, just as an example, Brooks were to say they will pay her a base salary of $300k/year (or whatever amount) base salary (no strings attached) to
(1) wear Brooks shoes, and
(2) market Brooks shoes in her social media posts, and
(3)* she is free to wear and market some other sponsor’s apparel.
Then until the right-of-first-refusal clause expires, her ex-NIL sponsor could say they will match that price, and she wouldn’t be able to take Brooks offer.
*(I realize this is an unrealistic example, since Brooks would also want her to wear Brooks apparel, since they are also a huge sports apparel company. But maybe Brooks would give her a bigger deal that would include marketing their apparel.)
Except she can’t. Why do you still not understand this?
Yes she can, just like Nico Young got offers from multiple companies. You must be listening to her Dad. 🙄
The difference is that Nico stayed with his NIL sponsor. He didn’t take up an offer from a different company. Same with Markezich; she stayed with ON, her NIL sponsor.

This is wrong
NIL deals are over after your last college race. She actually had to resign with her current agent is she wanted to. In this case Parker signed a NIL with Nike in college and her Dad decided to dump the agent when her NIL expired after NCAA’s. The only clause is the right of first refusal. All this means is if the company ON offered her $150k then if Nike matches the $150k ishe has to sign with Nike. It’s that simple. If someone wants her they just need to offer her more than Nike is willing to go. It’s very simple and actually helps the price to up for Parker. The problem is her new agent and Dad are asking for way too much and no one wants to pay.

Do you work at an overseas content farm? Are you paid in rupees? This and some of these other posts you're spamming this thread with are only semi-intelligible

The bolded part is correct, which is what everyone on this thread has been trying to tell you.
However, where you are totally misinformed is that she currently is not allowed to take even a lower price (than what Nike would match), should she want to choose to go with a different company. It’s this last point that seems to totally escape you.

Often a new company, say new balance, is reluctant to put effort into a deal if they know Nike can match and kill it. Even if the amount is high, the effort put into the deal is wasted if Nike simply chooses to match it.

A factoid that some people reading and commenting on this thread may fail to comprehend, is that the multi-billion dollar sports-apparel market absolutely DWARFS the size of the running shoe market.
Somebody out there might be thinking Valby would be a very unique model for their sports-apparel, since she can also run fast in their shoes, and get high visibility by actually competing well, at least in the American market. Therefore, it is not a good assessment of her ‘value’ to certain companies, if just limiting it to what one runner makes versus another runner, if only looking at whether they win medals.
That’s the point. Her collegiate NIL sponsor still has right of first refusal until the 180 hold-out period expires.
Oh, wow! Here's a thought: Valby/father really don't want to be with Nike, and Nike has demonstrated they'll match any offer, so they're just waiting out the clock to sign with the company of their choice. That'd be November, is that right? This could make sense for what they view as the right group, training philosophy, or the right marketing plan up to LA2028.
Who would be the right group? The situation seems very high maintenance and I can’t think of the “right group” for her.

It sure looked like her relationship with Nike was still pretty good between end college and Olympic 10k. They even made her the special show.
My guess is she stays with Nike and there is just some hold up finalizing a deal.
She graduated in early May, so sometime in November is 180 days. (Unless it's after last UF race, which could be ncaa, trials, or Olympics)
All I know is the financial ramifications for Valby have zero impact on anyone commenting on it. I like her, and I honestly don’t care who she signs with and when.

Apparel companies are not interested in her. Their are hundreds of athletes that would look better than her in their clothes. Livvy Dunne is what they want and Parker looks like an effeminate teenage boy standing next to her. Quigley was the exception because she had curves and didn't have Ozempic face like most distance runners have. The rest of the world does not look at sexuality the way the middle age white men of this website look at it. And thank god.

I’ve negotiated ROFRs down to 60 and 45 days for collegians. If they agreed to 180, they are guppies.

Livvy Dunne? Do you have any idea on the numbers of female high-school and collegiates that run (hobby-jog) compared to the number that practice gymnastics?
Livvy Dunne probably appeals to more young men than young women. It’s the latter that are responsible for growing lulumon to a 10’s-of-billions $ company.
Do you have any idea on the viewership of Parker Valby TikTok’s? Of course there is a limited time of appeal, as the athletes age out (including Quigley). How many TikTok viewers does Quigley pull?
The market-cap (size) of lulumon (>$30billion) is currently 5x larger than that of Puma.

Livvy Dunne is no longer considered a gymnast by sponsors. She has moved big time into the mainstream.
Valby nice, but still a relatively unknown runner.
Parker Valby has a year of NCAA eligibility left. She intends to represent the University of Florida, not Nike.
I have no idea, but maybe this is actually a consideration, so that she can sign a different deal, like the one Livvy Dunne has; they could video Valby working out on an Arc Trainer for their paying members (Univ of Florida maybe would get a cut):
