Difference is Mahomes in actually being paid for his name, likeness and image. He is very elite proven recognized NFL player. 99% of college players are not paid for their NIL, they’re just being paid for coming to the boosters school.
Right.. what people are saying is that Arch’s NIL deals are actually being paid for his name, image, and likeness. That’s the entire point.
Whether everyone believes that is a different conversation, but that’s what the quote posted above implies.
It makes sense to me. The Manning name carries a lot of weight and I can totally imagine sponsors wanting to get in on the “ground floor,” so to speak.

I bet their most recent recruiting class was $20m alone.
Wouldn't surprise me. If money alone could win championships, no one would stand a chance against Texas.

Arch is 100% getting paid for his NAME. Not because he plays for Texas

This is why am slowly becoming someone that is no longer a fan of college sports. I had a feeling NIL was going to ruin the game.

Quarterback Arch Manning is “by far the highest-paid Texas player,” as expected, but doesn’t take a dime from the school. He and his family acquired all his deals on their own “with no help from the school.”
As it should be. Schools shouldn't have a hand in NIL.

Dude that ain’t nothing. I’ve spent just north of $50 million at Golden Corral alone before.

Is this a pre-excuse if Brian Kelly doesn't make the playoffs this season?

Maybe not now but this is coming soon. Hopefully NIL will crash and burn. Its making college football a bit less likable year by year. It’s sad that it is coming to this.
The game I've loved for 50 years is dead and gone.
