Rich people that care about their school probably weren't looking for ROI. The company angle is just a means to use NIL toward that end in many instances I think.

This will help IMO. Should make companies more interested in associating teams.

Most of these NIL's are about attracting recruits....

My kitchen pantry full of built bars says otherwise. I don't even like protein bars.

I think that was a good one. Early, national news, not big individual deal

If he fulfilled everything he needed to on his contracts, then awesome for him

He wasn’t going to start anyways. I don’t know how valuable his NIL even was

It's to bad they can't put these off until after a players freshman year

And watch NIL money get smarter and these massive payouts start to dwindle. That is why I think team oriented NIL's are

Common sense investing. Spread the money around, overall better return with

Hopefully this will deter boosters from entering crazy deals with these kids and realize that they are just that kids.

The vast majority of sponsorship deals are more about the executive egos getting stroked than any ROI

Maybe it actually needs to be tied to a real market value for NIL. Once it is, then it'll work as it should.

This is like Jamarcus Russel's guaranteed contract. Same team. Weird.

I LOVE THIS. Hope it continues to happen a ton.
