College coaches make promises. Contracts have fine print. NIL deals come with strings attached. And somewhere in the middle of all of it is your kid - and you, trying to figure out who to trust.

Everything Is Negotiable is the guide no one hands basketball parents before recruiting season hits. Written by a mother who navigated her own son's journey from high school standout through Saint Peter's, Oregon, Hofstra, a Final Four run with Alabama, and into professional basketball, this book breaks down exactly what to ask, what to push back on, and what "standard" really means when it comes to recruiting, NCAA eligibility, and Name, Image, and Likeness deals.

Inside, you'll find:

  • A clear walkthrough of the new 5-in-5 age-based eligibility model and what it means for your athlete's timeline
  • How to evaluate NIL offers, agents, and contracts - including the red flags most families miss
  • Straight talk on what coaches can and can't promise, and how to ask the questions that actually matter
  • 20+ worksheets and trackers (with free downloadable full-size versions) to help you stay organized through every stage - from the Eligibility Center to National Signing Day and beyond

This isn't a legal textbook, and it isn't recruiting hype. It's the guide of a parent who's been in the room, made the calls, read the contracts, and lived to tell you what she wishes someone had told her first.

Whether your athlete is just starting to get recruiting interest or you're deep in NIL negotiations right now, Everything Is Negotiable gives you the language, the tools, and the confidence to advocate for your athlete - because everything, truly, is negotiable.

Melton, Bri: - "Bri Melton is a basketball mom, author, legal studies student, advocate, and the founder of Momager Moves - a consulting and content brand dedicated to helping student-athletes and their families navigate the college recruiting process, NIL, contracts, and the business of college athletics.For more than twenty years Bri has been on the front lines of one of the most complex and misunderstood industries in America. She watched her son play at four Division I colleges, navigate the Transfer Portal, earn NIL income, and help lead the Alabama Crimson Tide to their first Final Four appearance in school history. She's also been present for the G-League grind and professional overseas seasons in Belgium and Greece - experiencing firsthand every transition, challenge, and triumph that the modern student-athlete journey demands. After years of sitting across tables from coaches, agents, and program officials who knew more than she did - and watching her family (and others) leave money, opportunities, and protections on the table as a result - Bri made a decision. She's currently pursuing a degree in Legal Studies, equipping herself with the knowledge she wishes she'd had from the beginning. Everything Is Negotiable is the book that came out of that journey. It's the guide Bri never had - written in plain language, grounded in twenty years of lived experience, and designed to make sure no basketball family ever walks into a recruiting office, an agent meeting, or a contract signing unprepared again. Bri is based in Pennsylvania and is available for speaking engagements, workshops, and consulting through Momager Moves at momagermoves.com."
