What is his salary? We're still having paying his incompetent arse to do nothing now.

Edit: $1.6M to stand on the sidline during games... What a crock of shite. How does that even happen?

Oh yeah, Freeze...

And sure, throw coaches into the conversation. Multi-million dollar buyouts are the most retarded things in sports.

Apparently 1.6mil. And his big sponsor?

Dude wipes. Very fitting

NIL Deal: Arnold has signed a high-profile NIL deal with DUDE Wipes to promote their products in conjunction with Auburn's Toomer's Corner tradition.
Brand Ambassador: He will serve as a brand ambassador and be featured in humorous social media content for the "TP is for the Trees" campaign.
Estimated Value: His overall NIL valuation is estimated to be around $1.6 million, although this can fluctuate and was previously reported to be higher before the season began, according to this Yahoo Sports article from September 2025 and this Heavy Sports article from September 2025.

No, we didn't, and no legitimate Auburn fan would repeat that.

Right. It was Cam's Dad who got the 180K. Best money AU has ever spent.

You're right. It was probably more the $200,000. He was worth millions.

And this is why I hate college football now. It’s fully transformed into the minor leagues of the NFL.

Minor leaguers wish they made as much money as college blue-chippers. Plus at least pros have contracts. What college football is now is a chaotic mess and the level of play is rapidly sinking back toward high school level.

Agree and it should be treated as such.

Explain it to me like I’m 5. In what marketplace is Arnold’s Name, Image and Likeness worth 1.6 million dollars? What product could you slap his face on and generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue? You can’t, because his NIL are virtually worthless in the marketplace along with 99.999 percent of the other athletes out there.. College athletics are nothing more than a bubble waiting to be popped just like the dot com bubble of the 90’s. When the money bails because investors in this scam realize there is no actual return, the implosion is going to be catastrophic across the college landscape.

Cam rode a scooter around campus. If so he was the most frugal paid player in history.

This isn’t going to happen because there are so many psychos with money who want to play booster with college athletes.

People were spending stupid money before NIL. It was happening all over. We probably did pay Cam. We probably paid a lot of players.

Fearless is right its an ego thing, like owning your personal plane or a 300 million dollar yacht.

We missed on JA but we also probably got Atkins for about tree fitty, so it balances out.
