NIL suggestion?

The funny thing is that the dream of every player is to make it to the NFL where one player earns $10+M a year and many are "only" making $600k - news flash, some people are more valuable than others.

And if you want to make NIL money from donors - essentially SPONSORSHIPs that are based upon your reputation benefiting the donor, not just your playing ability - maybe you should shut your trap when you are in the back of a police car. Yeah, corporate donors don't care for that kinda thing.

I think of it as about how valuable the player is to a team. They may be worth 8 mil to Team A, but worth less to Team B. It's just business.

Another problem with NIL...promises not delivered.

"The quickest way to fracture a locker room is a few kids being promised money and not getting that money."

yes, its legal under the NIL guidelines and state law for a company to provide benefits to a "whole team". That does not resolve the issue of one player getting 8 million while everyone else gets 50K. There is going to be hard feelings.

From what I've been told, NIL played zero part in the issues last week. That was just an internet rumor.

I agree with "it wasn't the issue last week," but I'd bet the house it's the problem at A&M.

Next year we get a redshirt Freshman QB come in making multi-millions while not playing. The OP is spot on, the NIL needs adjusted or it will kill college sport(s).

That's just real life though.

An NFL MVP level QB is going to make more money than any defensive player even if they're generational talent like Eric berry or Luke Kuechly.

On top of that some people are just inherently more marketable than others. Hendon speaks clearly, dresses modestly, and presents himself in the same clean and modest way. Put his productivity on top of that and he's an advertisement gold mine.

Oh, I don't disagree that NIL is going and does already create issues on teams. I'm sure there are some issues in that space with Tennessee players.

I was just saying, there were other issues that create the disconnect last week, not NIL. Don't expect the NIL to get adjusted. Supreme Court pretty much opened it up. Can't deny kids from making as much money as they can get and that means there are some players getting a lot less than other players.

agree. always gonna be that way

There are jealousies in all the pro sports in regard to money players make versus others. I'm sure it happens all the time.
