Why? This is closer to what happens in the real world compared to the way NIL works now. Is there some kind of NIL “minimum wage” that I don’t know about? Maybe I’m way off but I would think a lot of players get zilch even though they put in the reps.
I didn't talk about "fair" in my post. But, I do believe the positions where talent is the most limited will also profit very well - for example, BIG, FAST DL's and edge rushers will make some good $$. Unfortunately, O-Linemen, due to not a great shortage at those positions (and they don't get the notoriety in general as the skill positions), will need other players to be "generous" for them to get decent pocket change. In other words, QB's, RB's, and WR's will probably have to "pay" the o-linemen some or gift them to make them happy.
The language in the unanimous (which cannot be overstated given the court’s composition) Supreme Court opinion strongly warns against placing any restrictions on NIL compensation. Hence, the NCAA not passing any legislation
Yeah, but the point guard, QB, RB, and DE, have no--nada--venue, without the other team members. I thought this was originally, stupidly, about the big money the colleges were making and the athletes were getting bread crumbs like scholarships, food, housing, golden handshakes, a free to them venue, made possible by the colleges at great expense, to the NFL, etc. etc. Btw, the courts are badly flawed.
Because the money that they are generating is off of their Name, their Image and their Likeness. You can’t take the money and give it to other people. The players could sue and the courts would rule in their favor.
Value of their name, image, and likeness without the university and their teammates: likely nil.
not like it’s any different. for the most part the playoff has been a combo of clemson, bama, uga, oklahoma and ohio state. we’ve had some washingtons, and cincy this year but it’s kinda funny and sad that we were rooting for that plucky underdog LSU or like uga was seen as some miracle run comeback story. if you want cinderellas you gotta stick to college basketball, college baseball and the nfl
Clemson in my mind should be considered a Cinderella. There is no way that they should be competitive financially or otherwise with the rest of those teams.
You might be surprised on this one. They have a ton of small to medium donors and a few big ones. Their season ticket sales are strong too. Knock the King off his throne 2 outta 3 times recently and win a Heisman here and there, and wallah, you have people who will buy off on NIL/TP.
I don't doubt that they do. Highly skeptical they have the numbers of donors in any category to compete with Ohio State, Texas, etc... despite outperforming these teams on the field for most of the past 10 years.
How much would Sims get at Bama/Clem/TAM/LSU/UNC/daU/fsu/uga/etc.etc.?
Really if he don't get better this year Not much
Wow. It occurs to me that with deals this big going down there is no longer any need to turn pro. Make your money in college and save your body while you can.
Definitely true. This is getting way out of control, but the genie is out of the bottle.
Unsustainable.
