Texas Longhorns RB Bijan Robinson gets to drive Lamborghini off the lot in NIL deal

It was Robinson's sixth NIL deal he has secured since college athletes were allowed to make money off their name, image and likeness.

Is there any effort at all to make sure players provide a service worth the amounts given?

Soupie

Nope, which makes the entire thing a farce

What is farcical is "student athletes."

Define farce. It's an entertainment industry. Services in such an industry are

You know the answer to that… how many BYU walkons do you see in BB ads?

Big12Yfan

5/27/22 7:06am

There’s a lot more that can do than be in ads

TwinsRight

5/27/22 7:18am

But how much value does a walkon wearing a Tshirt provide to the company?

Big12Yfan

5/27/22 8:10am

I agree that I don’t always see the value the company is getting.

TwinsRight

5/27/22 8:16am

The value they received was from the media after giving them the NIL deal.

I completely agree

How much is his NIL deal going to increase Lamborghini sales from this

NIl has nothing to do with providing a service. Their service is what has made

Except that it's supposed to. There is supposed to be some sort of deliverable

I'm sure the car dealer took a photo of him and will have it posted in the

NCAA and school NIL interference was what the supreme court found monopolistic.

Haha of course not! Lamborghini Bijan ran for 40 yards against Baylor.

I don't see how this is a bad thing...

I am sure a college kid will treat that expensive car with extreme care.

Ojiisan

5/27/22 7:17am

🤷 I don't really care. He gonna sign a multi million dollar contract in a year

Hotlanta

5/27/22 7:19am

I don’t care either. He will be one of the few to get one of these things though

Ojiisan

5/27/22 7:21am

It's insured. He's already the best RB in CFB. The press is already worth it.

Hotlanta

5/27/22 7:29am

After all this goes belly up the worst of these deals will go.

I’m not sure. Fans with money will pay for many players

Agreed. This is awesome.

New Lambos start at $264k. Gotta imagine the insurance for something like that

Will his Lamborghini be parked outside in the student housing parking?

Sneaky suspicion here that he no longer lives in student parking

That was where my mind went, why would you trust a kid to drive that? I give it

Best case scenario is 30k, but it's insured in one of the highest insurance

When much is given much is required. NIL money will tighten up naturally

I dunno. There have been booster scandals for some time with no ROI calculation.

Everyone doing less than us with NIL is a behind-the-times troglodyte, but anyone doing more is blatantly cheating

But does he have to pay for his own gas???

His insurance probably only covers 10 miles a month.. so he'll be fine
