Short on funds and needing a way to get to the training facilities, the athlete approached his friend and said, "If you will drive me to and from the baseball team's training facilities for my tryout and pay for our housing and meal expenses during our stay, I will assign to you 10 percent of my first-year earnings.

options

  1. the assignment was not in writing, therefore it is not enforceable.
  2. a purported assignment of a right expected to arise under a contract not in existence operates only as a promise to assign the right when it arises and as a power to enforce it.
  3. the assignment was not fair and reasonable, therefore it can be revoked.
  4. the athlete was under duress when making the assignment, rendering it unenforceable.
  5. the assignment is unenforceable because the athlete's contract with the baseball team prohibited any assignment of earnings.
  6. the friend did not provide a valuable consideration in return for the assignment.
  7. an assignment of a right expected to arise from a future event is enforceable once the event occurs.
  8. a contract to make a future assignment of a right is not a validly enforceable assignment.
  9. the friend did not detrimentally rely on the assignment prior to the attempted revocation of the assignment by the athlete.
  10. a gratuitous assignment is revocable, and the right of the assignee is terminated by the assignor's subsequent revocation.
