NIL impact

[winwave]

Tim, you're never going to win. winwave/wavedom is ALWAYS right. Don't you know that by now?

Yet you have provided nothing concrete to show that a multitude of college players have actually been paid a million or more. As for me I have admitted being wrong multiple times. As to tps that has never happened.

True. Young or Williams holding up a $1 million 1099 would be argued.

[winwave]

You got nothing so you take personal shots as usual. Both bad shots.

Line I said multiple deals for the top guys. They are making millions. No different than seeing Drew Brees on every other TV commercial for something. The sponsors want eye-balls and the top kids get them that.

Here’s some of Caleb Williams deals.

Williams has signed at least six NIL deals since February and his projected earnings from NIL deals over the next 12 months or so are $2.5 million.

Williams signed deals with Beats by Dre, Hawkins Way Capital, AC+ION Water, and Fanatics in February. He then went on to sign deals with Futuremood and Athletic Brewing Company between June and September.

Bryce Young deals

If you watch any TV at all, you should be familiar with Bryce Young. He is the star of the Dr. Pepper Fansville commercials. He is also part of the Nissan Heisman House commercials after he won the trophy last year.

Additionally, Young has NIL deals with Beats by Dre, NOBULL and the Dollar Shave Club.

In a similar fashion to CJ Stroud, Bryce Young gifted his entire Alabama team Beats by Dre headphones when he signed his NIL deal with the company. If you are worth over $3.5 million before leaving college, and you have the contacts this man does, you can do that.

Better but again it says projected. Back to the point though where's the long list of those making millions. It doesn't exist . You've got possibly 9 out of 11,135 scholarship players in FBS football.

. LeBron James kid going to make millions also. Nobody said there was a big list. The topic came up when that Florida recruit complained about not getting what he was promised. I bet that’s because the schools know that’s illegal to pay them to come. I’m just pointing out the top athletes will make bank and the rest won’t. That’s life.

[winwave]

That's the point I've been making. Very few will get big bucks. Most won't get anything.

$13 million deal collapses. Looks like they going to pay him millions to get out of the deal. Death Penalty next?

Saban rejects NIL

Alabama's Nick Saban rejected 2 players who were searching for $1.3 million combined in NIL money: report
It's believed the current player is a starting offensive lineman

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/alabamas ... ney-report

"Someone with one of the best corners in the nation (in high school) came to me and asked if we’d pay them $800,000 for the player to sign here. I told him he can find another place to play," Saban said, according to Baker High School coach Steve Normand. "I’m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it."

Saban later added that he lost 10 players, including a starter, to the portal already.

"One of them wanted $500,000 and for us to get his girlfriend into law school at Alabama and pay for it. I showed him the door," Saban reportedly said.

Good for him.

The more I read about Kirby Smart, the more I like Nick Saban.

That's the point I've been making. Very few will get big bucks. Most won't get anything.

It helps to be talented and extremely good-looking! LSU's Olivia Dunne makes more NIL money than 99.9% of "student-athletes" in the country, male or female. She's a gymnast, and we generally don't consider gymnastics a "revenue sport."

She's done so well promoting herself now the whole team has had to have added security measures put in place. I wonder if they are making her pay any of that bill? ( i know they aren't but they should).

She could certainly write the check. $2.4 million in revenue and growing

[tpstulane]

This deserves recognition (in spite it being LSU)

TiKTok algorithms are just incredible. It’s tech crack. You get addicted to it. I joined TiKTok in the early days and Livvy popped up on my FY page when she had less than 100K followers and she wasn’t even at LSU yet. She was doing some flips in a bikini on a Florida beach. So I decided to follow her then because she was “ talented and extremely good-looking!”. Since then she has skyrocketed on the platform. Now many of her TiKTok’s are sponsoring clothes she’s wearing. She’s actually bringing more eyeballs and attention to womens gymnastics. I never had any interest in watching a meet until her. Now I find myself watching LSU gymnastics on the SEC Network just to watch her routine. Besides her beauty she’s actually very good on the bars and floor. I think it’s insane but I’m happy for her making millions from these sponsorships.

Coach Prime is going to ruffle plenty of feathers, and make a lot of people downright pissed off at him. But he's going to win. I'm already on record here for predicting he makes the playoff in 5 years if he stays. He just might save the PAC 12.

Great read here. The biggest NIL in history that went bust.
https://theathletic.com/4149181/2023/02 ... ed_article

The Gator Collective’s first payment to Rashada, for $500,000, was due Dec. 5. It would have come before Rashada enrolled at Florida. The Athletic asked Gabe Feldman, a Tulane law school professor who specializes in sports law, to review specific clauses in Rashada’s contract with Gator Collective.

“Just the contact with the athlete prior to enrollment and using it as a recruiting inducement, that seems pretty cut and dry based on the timing,” said Feldman. “Under every version of the NCAA policy, that’s problematic.”

From an article in the www.theathletic.com

Now, imagine you’re a guy who is making $95,000 from a collective and about to enter your third year. You’re buried on the depth chart and have barely played.

Under normal circumstances, you’re likely going in the portal. But if you’re making that kind of money, why would you leave and likely give that up? There’s no way you would command that kind of money from a new school. So suddenly, your best option is to put your head down and keep working where you’re already enrolled. (And, of course, keep cashing those checks.)

As college football gets to where 100 percent of players got to see what they were worth, you’ll see more and more of them sitting tight and trying to make it work where they initially signed.

That player won't be making 95k at that point. Just like coaches run off players that haven't panned out NILS won't continue to pay a player that hasn't panned out. And yes Tulane runs players off under the guise of having honest talks about their future here.

I think he’s seeing that in the future. Many deep pocket schools will start paying every player a certain amount based on their perceived value. I think to compete that’s probably going to happen at least on the P5 level. So let’s say you’re making $xxx at Texas A&M and not playing do you portal out to another school just to play and make less? Might be headed that way. $95K is probably too high of an example.

[winwave]

Most players are making a pittance or nothing at all. Only a very few schools if any will be paying large amounts to all 85 scholarship players. No one will be paying a player that amount in year 3 to be a bench warmer. It won’t be up to the player it will be up to the NIL.
