It’s long past that level. $15M is reported NIL budgets for the top programs. You can divide that by 85 for an average pay.
I wasn’t talking about averages, there’s a very big gulf between highest and lowest NIL. My son is an SEC recruit and he’ll be on the lowest side.
No one talks to us about lump signing bonuses…and NIL looks to be $3-6k/mo, starting lower and building as you go. Double that with profit sharing. Scholarships alone pay about $20k/yr.
Really not so bad, my son will hopefully get some chances to stand out on his own.

Technically there is one and it's 20 million. Just like anything else the endorsements are separate, and that's how the schools get around it.

It’s coming but the Lawyers of the world will still come up with loopholes and suits to kill every maneuver known to man. I hate to say it but it’s got to come from government as law. It’s going to take time but the gov will even screw it up eventually. I hate most lawyers except mine and friends lol, but they’ll screw it up. That profit sharing deal with the SEC will help a little next year. NCAA is now a No Show and is reduced to nothing, should’ve took charge early but didn’t. Never amazes me how so many Smart people didn’t realize that this would happen. Us Peons knew it from the start.

See, I think this could be where there’s compensation for the actual value you brought to the team, and in a strange way ‘what you gave’…it should be awarded AFTER the season. A RB who averages a ton of carries a game…more $ than anyone on the team. They effectively shortened their career for your success.
Basically merit based bonuses.

Another case of Congress ruining everything

ABSOLUTELY

We aren't going to get any of it. College sports is too unique for any sort of scenario besides the one we had for 60 or so years to work.
One justice on the Supreme Court (Kavanagh) said he didn't see how you could limit NLI. No other justice signed onto his concurrence. The NCAA just gave up. If you accept you can't limit NLI, then no scenario works.
Salary Cap won't work. You can limit what the colleges give but you can't limit what boosters will pay them in NLI. Think the NBA with their salary cap where Jordan took less money bc Nike was paying him 100 million dollars. You couldn't tell the Bulls they had to count that 100 million against the cap.
Collective bargaining? It takes years to negotiate and vote on those types of contracts. 90% or more of college athletes compete for 4 years or less. By the time the vote happened half of the players would have aged out of the "union".
Every professional sports league needs to fund their own minor leagues, then Congress needs to pass laws that allow colleges to go back to "amateur" status. I know they were getting paid under the table but it was nothing like this. The kids who want to get paid go to the minor leagues, the ones who want the college experience dont. Then we will see who was right, the people saying that the players are the reason college sports are popular or the people saying the colleges are the reason college sports are popular.
