Tax, Agent Fee, post-collegiate medical insurance (sans going to NFL) and no... this guy will be working like most the rest of us lol

Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

Maybe I need to read the article again...

Is that saying with revenue sharing coming online there will be a limit to what NIL Collectives can pay? That article seems to suggest that the big money will level out. How is that?

To hell with coaches and facilities. NIL is the most item in college football.

This is what the NCAA was trying to stop.  But the hypocrisy and greed of everyone else in the sport getting paid a “market rate” while walk-ons got nothing and scholarship athletes were eating ramen noodles in the offseason broke that model.  The ONLY rational way forward to get sanity and fairness back with a large healthy FBS would about 80-100 teams coming together and becoming an actual league.  No less than 50% of all revenue (not including home ticket sales and merchandise sold on campus) would be shared equally.  Lots of other things would have to be done but most of them include cushy fat cat positions going away, and others taking 50% pay cuts.  The athletic departments would have to surrender a lot of power to the new league/NCAA along with the revenue sharing.  We all know that isn’t happening.  And we are on a slow road to College Football regular season ratings going down and playoff ratings going up while it is new.  Then after the newness wears off we will have FBS looking more like College Basketball.  Dramatically less interest in regular season football with few being familiar with great players outside of Heisman contenders (and/or projected 1st round Quarterbacks).

Good post!  I agree with everything you said.

On the surface, how did he do more than Chandler Morris? Tulane was a good team, but how is this amount justified versus many others that had equally or even better numbers with a stronger strength of schedule. 

Maybe I am missing something here.

Really, what needs to happen is to separate by capacity/attendance/revenue.

If you play in a stadium over 60k in capacity, average 90% attendance per butts in seats, and you have revenues over $80 million, then you’re in the Superpower Division. If you play in a stadium between 30k-60k, and your butts in seats are 75% of that figure for average attendance, with a budget between $30 million and $80 million, then you’re a power school. Anything under this is some level of the current Lower G5s/FCS schools.

Basically, 40 Superpowers, 60 power schools, and whatever the remainder is as a non-D2/3 level.

And this is in before Claims of Racism gets this thread locked.

Man, it's a weird weird world where actually going up to the NFL is a massive pay cut.

Everything is stupid now.

Yep, it's pretty stupid when college kids can buy their dad a new mansion:

Deion Sanders' sons buy him a new mansion in Colorado

This model is not sustainable.  Even if no cap or rules are implemented, I predict it will burn itself out in 5-10 years.  Whether the money is coming from boosters, universities, TV deals or merchandise, it's money that was spent on something else in the past.  One can justify diverting those funds for only so long and then they'll put it back into something with a better ROI.

I don’t want to sound like a hater on this dude, because he’s obviously a good player, but if he’s getting $8 million then there’s clearly a problem with NIL

So, can Duke insure him for the $8mil invested by NIL in case of season-ending injury?

white quarterback transfers to Virginia: @UNTLifer "Obviously looking at academics."

You got it dumbass. 
 

Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. 

Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there.  Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price  

Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. 

You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. 

Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
