So for reference, the class '23 is currently classified as what in school? The offers are being made to and signed by whom exactly?

Never said anything about what they deserved. Why does everyone insist on putting words in my mouth? My opinion is that the market will have a hard time justifying (committing to) paying more to an unproven junior in high school than a 4th year starter who was just drafted 3rd round. It may well be that college players make more than NFL players over the long term. I would be surprised, but it may be. Good for them. Gonna be pretty weird when they take a pay cut to go pro though. The old "get that money" for 3rd year guys with high draft grades might change.

My point is that not one junior is earning a NIL dollar. You're misrepresenting, whether on purpose or not.

I clarified "deserved" as "overbought".

And I'm challenging your opinion. It happens. It's not dangerous. It's called a "debate", "discussion". NCAAF may just be a rich enough media empire to support the NIL sponsorship $$$.

And if NIL is tied to college sports, their "career" there is limited in duration. Won't be weird at all for them to move on to the best career left available to them.

I think that last part will be positional, most OLine and Dline will leave after 3 for draft money. QB and the skill positions I could definitely see making that decision harder. Hard to walk away from 1-2 million guaranteed for one year and take a 5yr 4.3 million dollar contract were annually you take a pay cut.

Nico is being presented an NIL package now. He's a junior. He's making his decision and committing soon, and I assume he is doing so in part on the basis of the NIL package. The people offering that package are offering it to a junior. What do you find misleading or misrepresented about that?

I don't think ESPN or FOX do contribute to NIL. Media viewership money is equally split to the Universities for revenue and they can't pay the players. In order for that to happen I'd imagine they would have to make a completely separate NIL pool and each University agency rep like Spyre get equal shares to distribute. Then you have to include all athletics down to the bowling team. Or you run into litigation and civil suits.

I don’t see it that way at all. Everyone in the arena will know who he is and it’s a very public visit. Great atmosphere and a way for the fan base to show some love. It’s not like I’m advocating DMing him on Twitter or writing a love letter. Geez.

I'm not saying they are paying the players. I'm merely pointing out that NCAAF is a multi-billion $/yr industry. It doesn't make sense to assume that it can't support such a level of sponsorship $, similar to the NFL.

It could, but what could be and what is are two separate things is what I'm getting at.

No, you're advocating adults who know who he is from a hudl video and recruiting site to shower a recruit in adoration and want... that's not creepy at all.
