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?

Memmo

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

byulover

5/20/22 10:06am

Yup - great news for that qb.

Swish

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

zerome4sooners

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

LeonMarek

5/20/22 9:57am

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.

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

Turnpike Lane

?? mock ourselves?? we (as fans) are the ones creating the market

Ryan M

Yeah, that's the number that's been thrown around regarding Nico Iamaleava.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

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

Turnpike Lane

5/20/22 10:01am

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.

Turnpike Lane

What could possibly go wrong? Kid drives a Lamborghini to school on day one.

For 4 years or 1

Nat Gas Man

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

palangi

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

It will be interesting when this trickles down to the high school level.

No way this is all "new" money. At least it is all now out in the open versus

if this remains the new norm CFB is pro.

wilsdad

5/20/22 11:36am

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

Schrodizzy

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