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.

I feel like you are the one trying to argue? I wasn't making the post as an argument. The article said Nico signed $8 Million NIL deal. I have no proof he didn't actually do that. Should I make an edit to my post that the numbers could be off per pass based on unproven contractual stipulations. I love it in here during bye weeks. We get a little high strung.

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.

When one of your first ten posts is to start a new thread with such a meaningless observation .... you can expect to be skewered in an active forum like this, but you really haven't been.

Basically, I don't think anyone here was expecting a true freshman QB to see much action during the first half of the season.

Can you show us the proof of the $8 million deal? I mean actual proof not some article.

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.

My mother's family was from Straw Plains. Caroline Cook. was my grandmother. Spent a lot of time there.

Do we actually know how much Nico’s NIL deal is for? I always felt 8 mil was a stupid rumor thrown around that was started by another teams fan base. But it seems like some of our fans operate like it’s a fact.

Well, no. You just shouldn't base a whole argument with broad implications on media reports that were never confirmed by anyone who actually knows what is in the agreement.

Yeah. I am "trying to argue" against that kind of thing. It doesn't help anything and fuels false arguments that could have some impact.... at least on fans if not recruits and players.

This isn't a "new" thing for me. When this board was talking about that "news", I said the same thing. It is a private agreement and neither side has made the terms public. Maybe it is $8 million flat with no required deliverables... but I doubt it.

On three says, he’s worth over 1 million a year.

Why the hell would a random poster just have a copy of the contract? 🙄

go listen to the Big Orange podcast from this past weekend. It had one of the guys from Spyre on it, very informative

How is anyone supposed to get contract details, specifically?
I don't understand that line of thought. Not just a sports contract, but any work contract...

If it's being reported, and Nico himself has never refuted it...then yeah.
He's probably getting that much.
Or else he would just laugh and say " I wish ". But instead he's just kept quiet.

I think he's getting $8 million and other recruits used that number to negotiate their own deals.

I imagine 8 million might be a ballpark figure based on various reports. Before you say that is wrong, show me the contract with Spyre or at least a statement from Nico or Spyre saying saying it is a lot less or that there is no contract.
Why are we debating this?? Who cares if he is getting 8 million or 8 dollars. It none of your business.
Are some of you going to be upset if he values money a lot more than hearing Rocky Top???

Also from a SI article
“While no other details are available, the details would line up with another report by The Athletic. The outlet reported that a five-star 2023 recruit signed worth upward of $8 million on March 11, 2022. Iamaleava committed to Tennessee on March 21, leading to speculation that he was the recruit in question.

Andy Staples reported in April 2022 that Iamaleava's father replied, "no comment," when asked if his son was the aforementioned player. The signs point toward that deal being Iamaleava; whether this report is the same deal or a different one hasn't been determined.”

I think the OP was just in awe of the breakdown of the numbers. Not sure there was any point outside of that. That being said, we just simply don't know what his actual deal is outside of a couple generic reports out there from random sites.

I think a lot of people are mistaking what has been “reported” for actual terms.

No. You DO get the point. The poster I responded to founded his argument on the idea that he knows what Nico and Milton for that matter are making. You can't make an argument from information that you have no way of knowing.

No. Re-read what you just wrote and I'm pretty sure you'll see that it is not "true". Choosing NOT to tell your business even when others are misrepresenting it... is not a confirmation of what they're saying.

Well your not thinking any more reasonably or factually than the other guy. There's a good chance he got a great NIL deal. That's true. It may even have the potential of paying out $8 million under some condition or another. But we simply do not KNOW that.
