Olivia Dunne is one that is actually earned her NIL, unlike most of the football players that just get offered money before they play a down. She's actually made a name for herself unlike some random defensive back that gets 5 million, never plays, then moves on to his next school.
did she really "earn" it, or did she just look good and be moderately decent at gymnastics?

Both can be true. She is getting deals because she has made a name for herself so companies want to pay her for her name and image because she will sell products.

On the other hand you a random four star recruit like Kolaj Cobbins that probably got a million dollars from LSU just because he is a four star edge rusher. He's not selling jerseys, he's not bringing people to the school, nobody cares about his name or image, they are just paying him to play.

I can't believe that roster was 14-17 mil like Brian kelly told dellenger. They got ripped off.

No. Kelly mentioned in a press conference that LSU was in the bottom half of the SEC in NIL at around $8M. He also said he thinks LSU will around $13M next year and the collective is now up and on better footing than it was 2 years ago.

Ohio State spent 80% of their NIL on player retention. Almost all 10 or 11 of those guys are day 1 or 2 picks.They could have gone pro but they came back to accomplish what they were recruited for.




If their NIL was $20M, then 10% alone went to Downs.

Thats one good thing about NIL, maybe some guys who aren't projected 1st round will come back for senior year if paid well.

I don’t even know what you’re saying. Learn to type. Is it really that difficult.
