At what point do you get enough time from the player you own to get your ROI on the NIL deal. D1 players invest quite a bit of time. Especially if they are trying to make it the NFL. Heck, even in NAIA baseball at a school no one was going pro, the time investment fall & spring just to make it to the bench was atronomical. And most of us didn't even do summer ball anywhere. Every single day from the first day of class to the last class in May was spent at the baseball field or gym. Considering the school it was at, weekends and extra time was optional outside of required time. But you had all your classes early. Formal practice was 4pm to 6pm. THen dinner and study. But, depending on classes, alot of the team was putting in early work in the cages, or extra fielding. Whatever. $8 mil is a lot of appearances and ads. The brokers aren't looking to break even. And you think they were divas before, or were kept shielded from the law. How's a coach going to run a program full of these kids. I'm sure there are a list of outs in the contracts. These kids will be easily swindled out of contract money. Over the long haul, I see more damage than good. You can't tell me they don't get revoked, or even on the hook for re-imbursement if they get arrested for certain actions, injuries, transfers, etc., etc. There's no way these deals are guarunteed.
show with you. This is all on you and your gators bud.
