Yeah, that's the number that's been thrown around regarding Nico Iamaleava.
I shudder to think at what Texas is ultimately going to give Arch Manning

DP said a source told him NIL asking rate for one top HS QB recruit is $8M

Completely ridiculous. It's one thing to let a player make money signing autographs or hosting a skills camp
Indy Coug
5/20/22 9:55am
Why? Did people really think this would be autographs and skills camps?

I don’t see a problem with it. Free market.

Yup - great news for that qb.

Yeah, and I expect money to dry up when athletes don’t pan out

Free market also leads to monopolies, which tend to be problematic

This is already the case. Just more of the same.

Most of the time the free market leads to competition and regulation

Monopolies are great for the economy long term. Unlike the board game when

Monopolies eventually eliminate choice. Not good for economy, short or long term

Assuming artificial barriers of entry are eliminated, it is in the best interest

Once a monopoly becomes a monopoly, no incentive for it to deliver at low cost

This can't be sustainable - even for those paying the players

eventually the ROI will start getting measured heavily and these deals will stop

maybe... maybe not... a lot of this goes back to boosters dumping money into

Plus, a player has to know there is a chance he himself doesn’t pan out. This is

Do you think Nike gets any appreciable ROI on all the money they dump into

I wonder if these kids will start to stay all 4 years. There is no salary cap to

And the best players will just get poached and transfer.

Unless they put in the contract they have to stay for all 4 years or something

Any person or group who pays that should be mocked endlessly and relentlessly

So dumb. When an NCAA school NIL is paying an 18 year old more than an NFL QB, you got issues.
Turnpike Lane

is college football a bigger business than the NFL?
CrashMcLarson
5/20/22 10:16am
No, unless you also think MLB is a bigger deal than the NFL because they have more inventory.

Although I think Nico was $2M/yr, so not apples to apples with Lawrence getting $7M as #1 pick
krindorr
5/20/22 12:11pm
Because one is salary, the other NIL aka marketing. Aaron Rodgers get $2M per for State Farm.
Turnpike Lane
5/20/22 12:16pm
This is correct. $8M deal is 4 years $2M per year

Remember when UU fans were outraged about BYU's $5K/year NIL deal for walk-ons?

My thinking exactly. If this is the direction then why not just follow the NFL?

What makes college football interesting is the connection to the school.
