Kids on scholarship get free housing, free meals all week days, plus like $1500 a month now. Pretty poor budgeting if they can't afford Mickey D's.


Not all kids are on scholarship. So that statement still stands. That walk-on isn’t getting any deals.

I can't believe this thread has gone four pages and not one "Would NIL." What's the Rant coming to?

Methuselah


A fitting name for such a thread as this. These instagram girls will cause many guys to ruin their lives trying to be what these girls want. But you can't satisfy them. They crave attention, and settling down ruins that for them.

Don't look at Methuselah, fellas!


Ok, well, at least don't try to date her.

There is almost 0 correlation between followers and driving sales. I'm sure brands are willing to overpay for college athletes though. My guess is she wouldn't create a huge market for sales but more on brand awareness side which I think is all BS.

The kid who can't afford McDonalds is currently looking at those other guys who are getting a full ride and free meals plus cash as it is now. For that kid, if the proceeds others get from NIL will bother him, those guys getting millions isn't that much different from what they get now.

But if he has something that he does on social media that attracts millions of followers, he can now monetize that without fear of violating any NCAA rules and stay on the team he loves.

Onlyfans is moving away from adult content soon so that might not last long.

So just to clarify, previously she wasn't able to capitalize on her followers because she was a collegiate gymnast?

I was thinking of Medusa. That isn't the first time, and probably won't be the last time that I've done that. I hear the name Methuselah and think of Medusa, for some weird reason.

Correct. The NCAA had a very scrict amateurism clause that prevented athletes from profiting on their talents.

Tis a new day now

she already has more than a million Instagram followers. She’s going to make bank.


I’m willing to bet over half are bots that she bought and paid for. This is all too common occurrence in women’s social media nowadays. I’m not saying she’s not going to make money, but a social media presence can be easily inflated, which is the basis for over half of the arguments on here for her making bank. Furthermore, not everyone who follows her social media is going to buy a product she’s pushing.

Either way, this NIL thing is going to destroy locker rooms and team chemistry across the nation in just about every sport.

It will be more awkward when the person making millions is a scrub or some hot female place kicker who is hogging up the media spotlight.

Maybe some are but I don't know why she would've paid to inflate her following numbers back when she was unable to make any money off of them in return

Oh no. We can't hurt any walk-ons feelings then. Shut it all down.

Ya and I have special insight into social media advertisements. Who's going to pay her millions? She's a gymnast. Is Nike increasing ad spend because of this? They reallocating resources from Simone Biles? Your comment is proof you have no idea what you're talking about. Advertising's goal is to drive sales. So again, I'm sure there are idiot companies or multinationals with unlimited ad spend that may overpay for her following but the high school simps and old men aren't going to be buying her yoga pants. Hints my comment.

She's Theo Millas's girlfriend. Big freshman power righty from Canada. Good potential. Clearly doesn't lack confidence. Do not let him transfer.
