Are boosters going to start making money off of NIL deals? They are paying for players likeness but I don't see the return that generates. Are donors going to start making money off Tennessee football operations revenue in return for paying for their roster?

I will actively support any business that is buying players for UT.

Also these donors were already lighting money on fire to build the latest and greatest hydrotherapy recovery center, whatever the F they put in facilities now. They now have an avenue to invest directly in the team.

Have boosters ever gotten a return for the money they give players? They might actually see some in the form of social media advertising done by the players they pay now. More chance of an ROI now than before NIL.

Boosters giving someone a car for them doing a commerical later is one thing. The NIL is setting it up where college football programs will have to actively manage a salary for a football program. This is big money over an extended period of time, not just a one time payment or a house.

Stay strapped or get clapped. In all seriousness I think NIL will keep mid majors from competing as much.

I disagree. Even at the high D1 level, only a small handful of recruits will get big (or any) NIL deals as a recruit. Mid levels will still recruit the same kids they’ve always gotten and will compete exactly as they’ve been doing.

It’s crazy to me that he has signed the money deal but he can still choose an school he wants.

Imagine going on a visit signing a deal and collecting some guaranteed money and then going to a different school. 😂

The way the contract was explained, he basically sold away all of his NiL rights to "the collective" for 4 years. So if he goes somewhere else, he'll get paid $0 in NiL in future years...that would easily be a million+ dollar punishment on his behalf.

I think it's actually quite the smart way to go about it. We basically bought a $350k option on him. Which, to Spyre, is peanuts at this point.

Exactly

Every time TN gets a little momentum in something thats when you see all these other fanbases start crying about it. They know what UT can be and it scares them. The last thing they want is more legit competition. We are winning in a lot of sports right now and Football is just getting started again. Gonna be fun.

That actually makes sense. So he can’t use another NIL collective or do his own thing as that collective owns his name image and likeliness.

So he signs somewhere else they don’t do any work for him and he makes $0 after the guaranteed money.

Never saw the 30 for 30 on SMU, huh? That's exactly what the football program and boosters were doing--managing long term salaries for the players. (By extension, you can assume it's been happening at most succesful programs ever since.)

Now, it's above board and legal.

Exactly, he’s far from elite people are so quick to throw words out.

This is absurd. Dude he’s still a national championship winning head coach. You can hate Georgia and still give credit. There are like 5 active coaches who can say that. If you can recruit at such a high level that you can beat coaches that are smarter at X’s and O’s than you, that’s still elite in its own right. I hate that bowl cut doofus, but to sit at your keyboard calling him overrated while they just won the Natty is so stupid.

Great way to manage the portal as well. lol

Then again, what keeps him from taking his 8 mil and being happy with that, if the 8 mil isn't tied to UT?

The question is, what conditions are on the non-guaranteed money if it's not tied to him being at UT? And can those conditions be met elsewhere, so that UT's collective ends up still paying him to perform at another school?

I know there's a lot of rich people out there, but I don't see boosters supporting a 30M+ a year cost with no upside of return. That's not sustainable.
