I don't know. I thought the same, but now I'm rethinking it. Will these kids be so ready to leave college and go pro if they are already making bank? We may see some more competitive ball out of this.

It started circling the drain when the universities sold their souls for TV contracts. That was the beginning of the end. Once TV money started pouring in, it was only a matter of time.

It's a recruiting tool & Nick knows it. Thing is, a lot of schools have rich Alumni and this will make some schools much more competitive

They will pay them so much they will quit playing in college games to save themselves for the draft.

Rosters full of replacements of 2nd & 3rd stringers, of course then no one buys tickets so bye bye to college football.

Maybe in their last year, but they’ll want to ball out their first two years to keep securing better NIL deals.

Imagine what a guy like Tim Tebow could make in todays college game. probably more than he made in the pros.

Imagine how much money Tim Tebow *DID* make Florida and the NCAA just in jersey sales alone.

Total BS, he's always been on board with paying players, and now he can tell the REC to put the cash in his pocket.

The title says he reveals the amount. He did not.

He’s also “Not going to be Alabama’s next Head Coach “ either!

I wonder how this will effect future capital campaigns by teams. If a guy is funneling $500k a year to the 5 stars coach wants then does he throw another $500K a year at facilities? Or will facilities decrease in importance as paydays become all that matter.

Facilities will take the hit. If schools have to start sharing money with players and shift it elsewhere I don't think the facility arms race can continue.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable implosion of so many promising, young players. This will ruin careers before they can even begin. Hundreds of thousands will be thrown at 18-YO 5-stars who have yet to play a down. If I had a million bucks in the bank and attractive coeds flinging themselves at me in the bars every single night, I know my immature teenage arse wouldn't have given two shits about paying attention in film study (or class, for that matter). Geez, imagine Johnny Manziel had this NIL shite existed back in 2012. He probably wouldn't have even gotten drafted, let alone in the 1st round.

If you’re assumptions are correct then this will more clearly reveal the degree of character strength of the top players in college before they become draft eligible. It could “weed” out the weak ones before they get to the NFL

Bryce Young will make everybody in Alabama forget about Tua. This kid is unbelievable.

We really do believe you when you say it’s all from NIL, Nick. Wink wink.

Define “almost seven figures”. I could argue that five figures is “almost seven figures”, in a manner of speaking.

A guy that has never paid is getting almost seven figures for “his” name image and likeness? I’m sure it has nothing to do with the uniform he wears. College sports had an excellent run.
