Eye-watering price for one of the best QBs in CFB.

$7.5M is $625k per regular season game.

Prep for $50-60M rosters next season to be the norm among contending teams.

This can’t be sustainable but it makes you wonder what open-market QBs will be demanding in order to transfer.

That’s a lot of money for your family to live nicely in the Starkville area.

It’s not sustainable. These players are getting paid a lot right now, but this will eventually crack. Congrats to him.

Like parking a Bentley in front of a double-wide.

KT will be throwing to Brandon Walker at this rate.

They need to spend the rest of their NIL war chest on the offense and try to go the 2023 LSU route of scoring 50 a game and trying to give up only 49.

Imagine how many cowbells that money could buy.

Good, maybe that will be less for them to shell out to the other sports also.

I believe it’s double that when you only play in half of them.

Did they really have a choice?

Without him, their team went from contender to the bottom of the league. You let him walk, and the fanbase feels like you've given up.

Nick Saban was right. NIL is nothing but free agency.

Kid should have a nice retirement plan in place before leaving Starkvegas. That said, good luck fielding the rest of the roster.

Does this raise Leavitts asking price?

This is NFL level money, no?

For somebody like Sam, he and everybody else knows it would be best for his draft status to stay in CLK's system one more year and put up some bigger numbers.
Jumping into a new system and new OC you will not have the numbers for NFL draft most likely.
So you have some leverage and you negotiate with that argument and we can use this money for OL and WR's.

Isn't illegal for schools to actually pay the players?

Now imagine a 17/18 year old HS senior signing a deal similar to this. They could be setting themselves and family up for life regardless of how their college career plays out, but we know what will happen to most. This is the most unsustainable system since the early Soviet Union and we have the history to show that it is. Lawyers will be raking off of this shite show until the party gets shut down.
