Whoever is contractually obligated to Rashada's NIL money, hope this blows up in their face. Maybe negative consequences will scale back this NIL BS a little.

I totally agree. In a perfect world the guys who come in and produce should make as much as they can. Ideally the NIL stuff wouldn't come into play until the player has shown what he's capable of at the collegiate level. But this isn't a perfect world. At all.

5 years from now it's going to be interesting to see what some of these teams actually got for their money. The buyer's remorse is going to be brutal because so many of these 5 star QBs never amount to anything. Pick any year and go back and look at the names you've forgotten.

I can’t fathom that either, but I saw it on ESPN’s ticker, wonder if they truly verified that or simply running with it

He didn’t get 13 million. Unbelievable that y’all actually think that. 1.6 million was the number.

Isn't this considered paying a player to come to your school to play. Wasn't that basically the only thing that was against the rules?

It will after a few recruiting cycles of that happening. It will happen across the country. It's all still new right now.

Interesting - Can we get a link with details on the $13M deal.

I'd like to know more.

Screw that. I’d rather just grab a proven guy from the portal.

It is crazy for an unproven freshman from high school that never played a down in college. This shite is out of control as this kid might be a bust. That kind of money for a sophomore who had a Heisman-like freshmen year, maybe, but not an unproven kid.



many coordinators with no head coaching experience get head coaching jobs and paid millions. they are unproven.

why is it ok for unproven coaches to get millions but not unproven QBs ?

It might be worth more to the school, but is it worth it to the companies he has his NIL deal through? Will that one person generate that much extra business?

It's ridiculous, but if anyone says anything then we are greeted with you must hate capitalism. I don't hate capitalism. I hate what college football has become. It's just silly. It truly is pay for play at this point. It's absurd for anyone to sustain this type of funding.

I don't have the solution, but I am open to ideas. They are still college athletes on scholarships. Yet it's becoming more NFL like all the time.

Per the Supreme Court’s decision, NIL cannot be capped. Period. Any attempt to will be shot down in court immediately.

The only recourse is to legislate restrictions on collectives and make it harder for them and what are basically shell companies to operate providing NIL. That won’t shut it all down, but it would limit some of the bigger pay for play schemes.

Agreements with anyone outside of the school is out of the NCAA’s purview so it can’t be proven. Contrary to popular opinion that’s the real reason they never wanted to open this can of worms.

I'm perfectly fine with it. All it's doing is biting Florida in the arse.

Yeah I don’t understand how people can’t grasp this. A heisman- or natty-winning QB is worth FAR more than $13m total to their program in just a single year. Even accounting for the uncertainty involved, $2-3m/year really isn’t that much.


What part of AMATEUR sports dont you idiots understand !!!!!!!!!! This is not what the original intent for NIL was designed to be. Again, give an inch and take a mile. The NCAA needs to get their shite together on this before it destroys college football.

It can't be true amateur sports when it's a billion dollar industry. The TV contracts aren't going away

Putting the numbers aside, why would anyone want to sign on the line without the details of a related contract being final? Or the term not being met, if for say a "signing bonus" was in the deal and they don't make the payment.
It would be equivalent to getting offered full ride scholly with a per diem and then they say, sorry, don't have the per diem for you.

It is very unlikely a cap would be legal.

NIL came about due to a 9-0 supreme court ruling against the NCAA regulations over NIL of NCAA athletes.

It's assumed most regulation of players by the NCAA in this area would be illegal
