Good, and that highlights the difference between the two types of agreements. Schools should enforce their revenue-sharing contracts. However - and you seem to know - NIL agreements are between players and private interests and cannot demand such. Schools have no protection in NIL...

NCAA bylaws don't allow NILs to do that, that is openly structuring pay for play deals. If the schools and NCAA want to declare players employees, then that can happen. Revenue sharing plans can have a performance component, but has a $20.5M cap to serve all sports teams at a school. Until...

Where does the $5-7M figure come from?

Your logic effectively states no coach is “connected with his players” since they ALL lose players now to the portal. Take GA losing Beck for example, and Kirby is as good a coach there is today. I think your logic is a bust. You picked the wrong argument to make your point.

I don't care about any of that; if you have a load of cash fall on you in a few years, then you had your shot. What you make of your life is your own riddle to solve.

1st - yeah, it's still a lot of $. Collective deals generally get 3-5% of the deal while marketing agreements may get 15-20%. 80-85% of NIL deals are collectives. Their ability to get a degree doesn't expire with end of their eligibility. If anything, they have a beautiful base from which...

Sure, but if you can start for a P4/5 team, you have market value. Someone had posted a college GM referring to average of $300K/starting player was anticipated, but the reality is closer to $600K. I know of no degrees that with 2-3 years of study will pay you $600K - $1.8M in the same period...

Heck with that. If you grew up in a good area and had cash, and had the opportunity to stack $2- 5/6/7/8M in a couple years years by the time you can legally drink a beer, you're still taking it. 100% of the time.

Can you detail a little how you see that being feasible?

Nico's clan wanted an outrageous raise while attempting to tell Heupel how to coach, AND staging a holdout, AND soliciting other schools. They were shown the door. If you want to argue he never lived up to the hype...well, that is somewhat 'busty'. But a parting of ways over contract is...

No need; I see how it could read that way.

I know. That’s why I separated them and have repeatedly posted the differences. A school could pay a single player that from revenues and be screwed if not for the NIL deals so many bemoan. That’s the illustration.

Literally 1/3 of the $20.5 revenue sharing cap imposed by the NCAA, for one player. Shows what an enormous part of team assembly NIL will remain.

What a really bad idea.

It wasn't designed that way. NIL was a means for private entities to make deals with athletes and funnel money to them without it being called pay for play, and had nothing to do with university produced revenue from merchandise. That hasn't changed, except there's an NCAA clearing house now...
