That was a typo, you butt hurt pussy. Carry your SMU crap to a whatever second rate conference you're in board.

By the way jackoff, it's "their" not "they're".

I made a typo, you are too stupid to know proper English.

Most athletes aren't getting paid by NIL deals. They're getting paid by collectives. Just like you don't see a ton of college athletes doing commercials or companies using their images or names. Collectives are just paying them outright.

On Bruce Feldman’s podcast yesterday he said to take all those numbers with a grain of salt

He has a ton of connections and he said every time he checks on big numbers it’s nowhere near that amount. He said agents float those numbers out there to drive the market up.

No doubt it was an SMU alum with the justification being Ewers would do another Fansville commercial.

Yes, that is the current way of doing things.. but as the rules change, so will how the players get paid. The whole thing is a shite show, hopefully we can squeeze some more good years out before it all collapses or morphs into something completely different..

So is revenue sharing just sharing the money that's in the schools collective evenly?

It's athletic department total revenue generated from ticket sales, concessions, money from the conference for the SEC TV contract, conference branding, etc. LESS the athletic departments operating expenses.

Yes, it is separate from money in an NIL collective.

Ewers is currently projected by many to be a second round draft pick. The contracts for 2nd round players average around $8 million in totality.

If he was offered $8 million for one year of college, and he is projected to go in the second round, he is a fool for not taking the money from Miami or whoever supposedly offered it.

there's going to be several big colleges that will have rosters in excess of $25M in NIL deals and it's only going to go up from there!

It'll stop. Rich people didn't get rich by pissing money away. Once they are not getting the ROI, which would mean championships, the faucets will dry up. This isn't a decade ago with boosters dropping 20k bags. This is real money and it'll dry up.


What is their ROI? If a big time donor is just throwing 8 million a year away for a championship, what’s he getting in return besides being able to say his school is National Champions for that year?

The few people I know, who have that kind of money would never invest 8 million and not profit off that investment . It makes no sense to me. How long can they keep that up?
