Who in their right mind finds all this obscene money thrown at high school and college kids truly improving things. No such thing as college ball anymore. No such thing as amateur or student athletes.

To answer your question:

These young men will earn more than Men working 40 to 80 hrs a week in 9 to 5 jobs.

But that’s the Market Place.

Capitalism at its Finest.

These guys are not only athletes but entertainers.

Problem is….. the ride only lasts 4-5 years then they must join the work force. If their job is not in the NFL, they will take a MASSIVE Pay Cut !!!

Earlier today I read Meechigan offered 3 mil per to Bryce Underwood last year. LSU offered 1.5 mil per. Thats was for the number 1 kid in the country.

If im not mistaken, the numbers you may find are typically for a 4 year career. Obviously Bryce doesnt get all 12 mil the day he shows up. If he leaves after 1 year, he doesnt get the remaining 9.

The Succubus episode, which contains the universally acclaimed $3.50 reference, first aired on April 21, 1999.

TigerDroppings, however, started its operations in August 2001 with a mission to use the Internet to inform billions of LSU Tiger fans around the world. Its motto is to give you the 'poop' on LSU Sports, write 'shite' about LSU Sports, to tell you about any 'movements' happening down in Death Valley...you get the picture. TigerDroppings

Nevertheless, the $3.50 joke was not told on TigerDroppings until several years later. Certainly, it didn't not reach widespread use for many years. At best, the joke would be an undergrad.


So based on inflation since 1999, the joke should now be $6.82

I looked up revenue sharing for LSU Football this weekend and found this bit of information. Feedback appreciated if anyone has more information, i'm intrigued at this "base salary" for 18 yr olds.

LSU football quarterbacks
OpenDorse allocation: 16.9%
Estimated LSU pay for all quarterbacks: $2.28 million or $456,000 per players if distributed equally

LSU football running backs
OpenDorse allocation: 8.9%
Estimated LSU pay for all running backs: $1.2 million or $150,000 per player if distributed equally

LSU football wide receivers
OpenDorse allocation: 15.4%
Estimated LSU pay for all wide receivers: $2.1 million or $161,538 per players if distributed equally

LSU football tight ends
OpenDorse allocation: 4.5%
Estimated LSU pay for all tight ends: $607,500 or $101,250 per player if distributed equally

Those numbers are just what the school can pay, the collectives add to those numbers... probably double or triple what is in this article.

Usually dumb questions get replied with this which makes sense. It's a dumb question. Nobody knows outside a few public numbers that were thrown around. Most of the dealings are private and even the bigger ones are often speculation at best. So tree fiddy.

350 is the original 67, right? No one really knows what it means but still laugh when people say it. 350 was first, and the existence of 350 is the only reason that I understand the logic behind 67.
