More NIL fun!

Not "employees(?)" but maybe you can pay them to buy a National Championship.

$20 million for OSU team. 10 players on it making more than $1million. Student athletes...and business men.

Fully expected Xavier to be in there…. Over the years, I have always been happy when Xavier wins a game fully knowing that it was only a diversion and not of any particular consequence in my life. But is the pursuit of this happiness really worth all the money that is now needed to achieve the vicarious happiness we get when college athletes win contests that we did not contribute any athletic prowess to?

The OSU-Texas was an exciting game with stellar play not that I cared either way for the combatants as I don’t identify with either school. Mercenary athletics make it hard to identify with the Musketeer teams. Hope they beat DePaul today and 8 will watch but it certainly is not the same.

And that is a shame.

The University of Miami’s reported $4 million deal to secure Carson Beck as its quarterback exemplifies why the proposed revenue-sharing model and NIL caps for Power 5 conferences are unlikely to succeed.Miami’s aggressive investment in NIL deals shows how the market dynamics of college athletics have fundamentally shifted, making centralized regulation and financial caps impractical.

Question. If a player the caliber of David West was entering the 2025 portal what would he fetch
?. And would it be a multiple of his first year NBA salary of $1.1 M. ?

Xavier Basketball was sure fun. Be happy you partook. You lived through the Glory Years!

It can’t be. I’ve been reliably told by a certain, frequent poster here that X is not a news source. I bet the amount is much higher.

We haven’t yet reached the end of the clickety-clack of the NIL rollercoaster.

The QB at Bama a couple years ago made more than the QB of the Eagles. The players should have the right to freedom of movement and compensation, and I have the right to care a little less every year.

Agreed. You get schools like Rutgers that buy 1st round picks and dominate. Well…

X is not a news source. If this were only being reported on X I wouldn't believe it. But, I've heard it from sources that I do believe. Maybe it's wrong, but I don't think so. The fact that it's on X has nothing to do with why I don't think so. I guess we'll see.

Remember when the NCAA actually tried to argue that players really weren't worth anything anyway in the free market?? Their position was actually that the players needed the schools far more than the schools needed or wanted them. They actually believed that! Yeah...I think that take has been proven to be incredibly wrong.
