Found this on a NIL/Portal site for college basketball. This is what the Major Conferences are supposedly playing for players right now.
PROJECTED ELITE GUYS (Top 10-15): $2.5 to 4 million PROJECTED ALL-LEAGUE PLAYER: $1.5 to 2.5 million PROJECTED STARTERS: $500K to 1.5 million PROJECTED BENCH PLAYER: $200K to 700K
This may be why we can't keep our best players. I doubt that we are even close to paying out more than 50-100k for a starter.
All the more reason I always cheer for the upsets and Cinderella teams to beat the Power schools in college football and basketball.
$mut’s of the world will always try to buy their way ahead of others.
When Bucky McMillan became the new A$M basketball coach.....it was reported that the Aggies next year, have $7 million just for basketball. If they paid every scholarship player equally (and they probably don't)....that would be over $500k, per player.
Keep thinking we can stay in the NIL game. We can't.
