Because one is salary, the other NIL aka marketing. Aaron Rodgers get $2M per for State Farm.

Tht is the better comparison. WE all know who he is, he is all over hte place on commericals. None of us could pick that kid out of a lineup. So how is he pulling that for NIL, when none of us know him by name, image or likeness, and he pulls the same as ROdgers?

It is pay for play. It needs to change and be tied to NIL. Kid should be lucky to get $25,000.

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

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

5/20/22 12:09pm

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

OMIllionaire

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

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

BYUheaven

And the best players will just get poached and transfer.

5/20/22 10:01am

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

Powerbait DPM

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Although I think Nico was $2M/yr, so not apples to apples with Lawrence getting $7M as #1 pick

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.
