Do we have any 7 million dollar players?

Nebraska HV Matt Rhule says there are guys making 6 or 7 million bucks in NIL money.

Do we have any of those guys?

He said that a quality QB in the portal is 1-2 mil.

That doesn't make sense. There are guys making $6-7 million, but a quality QB is only $1-2 mil?

So who is making 6-7, if not the quality QB?

I call bullshite.

Caleb Williams is reportedly making $2-3 million. If a Heisman trophy winning QB in LA isn’t making that much, no one is.

Unless he meant over the course of 3-4 years.

It's been stated multiple times by people who would know that a lot of the high dollar NIL figures being thrown around are BS

I think what happens is the 4-year number gets mixed up with the per-year number.

A 5-star QB gets promised $500k per year, perhaps. Over 4 years that's $2 mil. Then word gets out, and that $2 mil becomes an annual number. Now he's supposedly getting $8 mil.

I think the lower $500k per year number is bullshite as well, TBH.

And this is from marketing deals... Not from NIL Boosters/collectives.

Shedeur is probably the only one even close to that. They are even doing national broadcast commercials.

This is Rhule making up shite to explain not being able to lockdown recruits and portal players.

nope.

And certainly not at Nebraska.

LSU defensive players owe JD about 7 million dollars

It costs a lot more to get top recruits to go to Nebraska

His whole statement seemed like sour grapes. And then he said "we like doing things the hard way" basically saying that they don't play the portal game. ... weird.
