3 year $8 million NIL deal = $2,666,666 per season
5 games into 2023, 5 attempted passes, 2 completions.
If the same stays true for the season and we make a bowl, he will have 13 pass attempts with 5 completions or:
$205,128 per pass
$533,333 per completion

For perspective, Joe Milton will make roughly $500k for the season.

** Note, this is not meant to be for or against playing either of the two. Just thought it was interesting. I personally think college football will never be the same and it makes me sad. But if anyone can get a nice payday from it, glad its a Tennessee Volunteer.

Something tells me the Vols weren’t investing in Nico for one year. Hopefully starts benefiting us next year which I think it will.

It definitely will. Must've struck a nerve in here. I actually respect Coach H for sticking to his guns on this. You know there has to be crazy pressure coming to him from the company that made this deal.

Ha! I would call me out too for this. Long time lurker, promise. I've been thru the ups and downs, grumors, kiffen sorority posts, all of it. Both of my parents graduated from UT. Mom is from Straw Plains and Dad is from Lebanon. I'm all Vol brother.

Not sure what the point really is though. Nico is obviously being paid for potential right now. There's no way to really evaluate his deal next to anyone else's until we see what Nico becomes.

Tennessee was a dumpster fire when Heupel got here. What Heupel did with the team in winning definitely put us back on the radar more in recruiting but the biggest factor why every kid wants to at least see what Tennessee has to offer is bc of that NIL contract they offered Nico. Idk what the exact offer is or what provisions he has to meet to achieve the max nil money but whatever it is it was worth it and has paid huge dividends in recruiting.

Your Uncle Gruden owns land in Sevierville too, you're goodo_O. You are either acting like a untrained troll or you're just having some fun.

Can you cite your source for the actual details of Nico's NIL deal?

Wasn't that 8 million always just a rumor? Even if it's true, it doesn't really matter right now. The deal is for the future not for this season. Milton is the QB for this season until he's injured.

I don't think its a rumor? I agree and am for Milton starting. My post was kind of just in awe of the raw numbers.

Tennessee Quarterback Nico Iamaleava Signs NIL Deal With Force Factor

I believe Nico has said that the NIL he makes isn’t close to what’s been reported. There is likely some provision that allows it to go close to that number but it’s probably pretty hard to achieve. I think you could link it to marketing numbers which would muddy the waters enough that it wouldn’t be “inducement”.

“Grumors” + “Straw Plains” = either you’re legit or a really well-researched mole. Obviously the former is the much likelier possibility.

Another way to look at it:

TN Athletics Department revenue was around 140 million in 2020. Most of it comes from Football. We won 3 games. That is 40 million per win.

See, no one takes number out of perspective when its the institutions but when its the athletes than it is an issue.
It is 500K per completion but what about hours spent in gym ? S&C schedule, meeting rooms, giving best years of your college life to a program ? Now you can say, well rest of the 84 players are doing it too: It is demand and supply.
Hypothetically lets say I am a programmer that makes $100K. Google CEO made $125 million before being promoted to CEO.. we both were programmers then why the discrepency? The high demand of presumed skill.

The money we are paying Nico is a bet on his skill. The skill that we are hoping will bring us back to CFP and more. More people on stands, more ticket sales, higher revenue share. If all that happens, $8 million is not a bad deal. Again, it is a bet on skill so no guarantees (like any other profession).
Hope that makes sense.

Nope. Show me PROOF not media speculation. Show me the contract. The terms. The guarantees and the incentives.

It is very likely that NO ONE outside of the truly interested parties have seen that. So to just thrown unconfirmed things out there... or to use them as a basis for an argument just doesn't work.
