At the minimum, "first round draft pick-level money" is over $3M/yr. Absolutely no way he will make that much money in 2022 anywhere.

He has 112k followers on IG.
Most of these athletes that are making the most $ from NIL are doing it through social media followers >1M.

This sounds just like all the hype on Spencer Rattler last yr. Everyone was "projecting" how much he would make assuming he would win the heisman & be a top draft pick. He wasn't even starting halfway through the season.

The people looking to pay Ewers don't give a frick about how many IG followers he has.

They want wins on the field.

The Packers don't pay Rodgers for the marketing opportunities.

The people looking to pay Ewers do not have the same kind of money that the Packers do.

I think $3M/yr is hard for some people to understand how much money that is... he ain't getting that much at UT even if Matthew McConaughey is cutting the checks himself.

I expect Bryce Young to be at 2M next year. Bidding war for Ewers could easily get him 2-4 million.

Ewers already had a 1.4m deal at OSU, with two highly rated QBs on campus already.

that's not true, most FB and BB money will be direct payments

Terrible take. Texas has donors that could buy an NFL team if they wanted.

The general public has very little knowledge of how these deals are even constructed. They just hear a number & go with it. UT is somewhat trying to change the game with their strategy & making payments to entire position groups, but yes for the most part these deals are setup for them to promote sponsors via social media and/or commercials.

Bryce Young for example:

quote:

Logan’s Roadhouse announced the brand is partnering with University of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young to use his name, image and likeness.

Through the sponsorship, the leader of the Crimson Tide’s offense will promote Logan’s on social media, as well as in on-air radio spots for local stations.

Young will also make frequent visits to Tuscaloosa’s Logan’s Roadhouse.

quote:

While there is no way to know for sure how much Young has made in endorsements, as most NIL deals do not announce pay

?????

They pay him for wins, previous wins, and yes, marketing opportunities. Should be common knowledge that they would have more prime time games for example with Aaron Rodgers on the roster than without

Because he wins.

Not because of his sparkling personality.

NIL seems like a mess that stands to have donors exclusively “donating” to players instead of donating to worthy university causes.


This is exactly what’s going to happen. I get that the kids want to earn money from their popularity and there should be some way for them to do that, but this NIL stuff is going to ruin college football very quickly.

Because the people giving out money through NIL are still going to want a return via advertising.

If you're under the impression Nike would just give money away to recruits to win football games, then I think you're mistaken.

Nationally there's no benefit to Nike giving away money like that and locally they couldn't care less.

How much influence will these big paydays have on the coach's ability to put the best kids on the field


That’s a great question that I had never thought of before. If someone pays for an athlete, no doubt they’re big money boosters too. When their guy stinks up the Spring game and isn’t starting the regular season, those guys will be pissed. I guess it’s just part of the risk but it’s an interesting dynamic to consider.

Eventually these NIL deals will be in writing and state you get the money if you finish your career at said school and if you transfer you owe the money back.


I don’t think a player that washes out after transferring twice and then not getting drafted is going to care very much about what is owed to a school. They’ll consider themselves victims of the schools bad decisions and either fight it or ignore it.

Yeah, the Church of the Immaculate O Line is expecting a big advertising return on their $800K investment.

Citing Ketchum is like citing Liucci. Should result in the report being immediately discredited.
