This NIL stuff will need a Rookie cap just like the NFL has for incoming players. If they prove themselves to be good after a year or two in college then pay them. NFL learned the hard way paying rookies huge contracts was not the answer. So many bust. Same will happen paying huge money for unproven High school recruits.

I’m just surprised all these wealthy boosters are willing to pay unproven 18 year olds that kind of money. What a waste.

Goes to show you just how desperate and obsessed they are. Pretty pathetic actually.

What a joke. NIL is a total joke.

NIL is a clown show.

$3MM to pay a kid who we aren’t even sure is any good to hold a clipboard sounds like a great investment.

They better enjoy it while they can, market gonna shift once they realize they're wasting money on future shitty pro athletes.

Was there actually an real ROI on this or just made paid to him to go to school there?

Sadly I'm done with CFB so any company thinking that this will help marketing to me then you are just wasting money. Especially when the Mannings are now tranny-piss pushers.

I hope we can get college football back someday, but we probably won't. Maybe a salary cap is in order, rather than this wild wild west crap

Can we stop calling it " NIL ", because that's not how athletes are getting paid?

This is a lie, sad that internet garbage is taken as news! Shame on Chris Law and Larry Leo for posting crap as real news. This is also why media is now thought of as less truthfull than a used car salesman.

Or this is a made up number this random person named Chris.

I'm told he donated it, he should have saved some of it.

Areddishfish•26 months

He's probably already slated to receive millions from the family alone. Excellent PR move on his part.

Datbayoubengal•26 months

Don't be stupid. If you think that kid donated all that, you're an idiot. BTW, his Uncles are the ones that are rich.

Market dictates value whether actual or just perceived.

Dadren•26 months

Not sure why this is getting DVs, it’s totally market driven. Problem is the market is full of people with money who aren’t doing a lot of thinking.

This On3 NIL valuation is trash. They are unbale to say how they arrive at the numbers. Further, half the states, such as Lousiana, do not even allow for the public release of NIL money.

It's mentioned several times that his dad and uncles won't allow him to get NIL and Coach Sark says he's getting $0

He's not getting any NIL money as reported on several sites, and that tweet is some redneck that pulled that data from On3 recruiting on "Perceived Value". Even if Arch were allowed to get NIL, it's highly, highly unlikely that a grown man that knows the true value of what 1 million dollars is, is going to give it to some 18 year old to play football at his favorite school
