Kentucky center Oscar Tshiebwe is now eligible to sign deals and profit off of his name, image and likeness, a much-awaited announcement that came from the National Player of the Year candidate on Sunday.
After watching his teammates agree to deals and earn money all season, Tshiebwe now proudly “open for business.”
What does it mean? For starters, he’ll finally be able to start earning money like the rest of his teammates, and he’ll do so at the peak of basketball season. With Kentucky seen as a serious contender to win it all and Tshiebwe seen as the favorite to earn National Player of the Year honors, he’ll certainly be able to make up for lost time.
