The amount of cash flow that is about to happen is going to be staggering.
Yes, but the effect on these players and the team overall could be extremely detrimental.
Something tells me 18-19 year old kids walking around campus with vast sums of money might not turn out very well for these programs.

Special iPhones that nobody can buy. Only Auburn players receive them.

Donda got her doctorate from Auburn in 1980. Kanye was born in 77
That means there was probably a little toddler Yeezy running around Auburn back in the day

Leave the woke crap off campus. Otherwise hard pass.

There will be 8-10 schools in general that will set up NIL programs and absolutely dominate recruiting. It hurts my soul to say this but I dont think Auburn will be one of them.
This recruiting cycle is a "put your toe in the water" situation. Next year, there will be things in place that will totally change the atmosphere of recruiting if the system is not changed.
I believe this is, currently, the future of college football. Smaller market teams, with smaller alumni bases will fade. You'll have 10-12 teams with the big NIL $ dominating recruiting every year.

Yup. The Gap between the haves and the have nots is growing. I just hope Auburn can keep up.

Of course we want to but we simply don't have the resources available to some other programs.

That new NIL deal is going to give the average fan an opportunity to do just that.

I still think the NIL deal will be a cup of water to a forest fire. It's a step in the right direction, while other schools will be on the moon.

Auburn revenue has to be top 20, right?
Auburn athletics streamlining the budget and redirecting contributions etc to a NIL system gets us there

Programs that can be NFL/NBA pipelines + exposure will provide non monetary value.
These kids may be 18 but their agents get it.

I don't think so, not everyone is going to be marketable to the Milo's teas, Bojangles, or [insert regional brand]. This gives everyone at least a slice of the pie

A very small slice of the pie.
Put it this way, Texas AD brought in $200mil in revenue compared to Auburn's $150mil
Imagine if UT redirected that $50m difference to NIL company that paid their 85 players. That would be almost $600,000 per player
That isn't even insane when you think about it. Take $50mil in contributions and encourage the donors to send to NIL company
