"We ended up bringing in a number of them -- Bo Nix being one of them. Bo was paid $500 or $600 a week, and it was like an $8,000-$9,000 deal for the semester. It was probably more than what should have been paid, but nothing crazy.”

When I called Texas A&M, I spoke to an agent representing 3 or 4 of their players, incl 1 coming in that was a highly recruited kid. When I offered him this deal, he said, 'We are getting $5K/wk to do a 2-min radio spot on an alumni's radio station in College Station.”

“That's when the light bulb went off in my head that this is going to change very quickly, bc if kids are getting paid $50-$100K to do radio spots on some radio station in College Station, that's a joke, right? They weren't interested because their market is $5,000.”

We all do. If this is allowed to continue it’s going to be nonstop bidding

That may make you mad. But there is nothing illegal for one adult to pay another adult 5k/week to speak on his program. Politicians, and other public speakers do this all the time. Try and book one.

5k per week is only 260k a year, but other sources said it was a mil per recruit, 25-30 million total for the class. Somebody on the internet is lying!!!!

The system sucks.
Until they fix it, though, you play by the rules that exist.
Stand in principle all you want, but it’s like pissing yourself while wearing dark pants. Makes you feel warm for a minute, but all you end up with is something nobody wants.

There is something wrong with this. When a school uses promises of NIL or other means of payment to get recruits to sign its against NCAA rules. A&M is going to learn this soon enough

I’m not quite a mathematician, but 260k x 4 year commitment Is over 1 million dollars. Unless you’re implying that they stop paying this after year 1, meaning it was a pay for play deal?

What is wrong with the situation posted in the OT?
Posted on 5/24/22 at 4:09 pm to adambomb
Not to mention, they could have more than one deal..

Which is still fricking stupid.

It's not your money or mine.

But that's "cheating"

Much much more than that if you are a real deal influencer. Ex-Presidents earn $400K per speech for roughly an hour of their time at a private event. Top tiers musicians or actors get paid over $1 Million for showing up for a few hours at an event.
I think the average joe lamenting that young men don't appreciate room and board is missing the larger picture.

I know. I was trying to keep it basic for the simpletons. Even if you made it illegal, there is no way to enforce this. Bama has done this for years. Now they are mad someone can and is doing it better. I am loving every second of this.

That's certainly the way it was positioned at the beginning, but let's be honest about what it is in reality today.
How many NIL deals are national endorsement deals or even transferable? The vast majority are money coming from boosters, who may be tapping into their company coffers to give a kid a Lambo or do radio ads that pay exponentially above scale.
It's 100% tied to gettinga specific kid to go to a specific school by throwing bags of cash at them. We can keep repeating the mantra about what they said it was supposed to be or jump in feet first.
Up until now, the entire country looked the other way as teams cheated and paid players anyway on their way to buying championships. How is this ANY different?

There's no way that kind of money being shelled out, with 0 monetary ROI to the payer, is sustainable. I know some of these boosters are super rich, but it's a complete net negative. You can't even write this stuff off on your taxes.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.
The reality is most advertising (sans national companies) is localized and specific to the area or target audience endorsing the product.
BMW of Tuscaloosa isn't giving Bryce Young an NIL deal if he's the quarterback at Tennessee, and you can be certain there's a clause in that contract that allows them to terminate the contract at whim on a yearly/quarterly basis to deal with if he "transfers".
