Can a player get better NIL deals as they progress through their years? Or is a 1 time offer up front?
I’m just wondering if let’s hypothetically say that Bishop who probably didn’t have a big NIL deal would get a big NIL deal through TN.
Or is his best shot is to put his name in transfer portal?

NIL deals are almost certainly for a single year because a player can transfer each year and if you gave them their 4 years of money, they could take it and transfer and you're screwed. The famed "Nico got $8M" quote almost certainly means Nico gets $2M per year. If he leaves after 3 years, he'll have $6M, I'd bet.

Given that, NIL deals for players who don't measure up to expectations may be decreased or simply not offered the next year. A player who got $1M then doesn't perform, might be offered $500k the next year. A player that got $500k and excelled might get offered $1M to try to keep them from hitting the portal for more money.

As for guys trying to jump in the portal to squeeze more money from their team, I think that's happened but I can imagine teams really aren't too receptive to that technique and might let the guy walk.

i think i have heard of where deals have been re-negotiated mid season if a player really comes in and over-performs his initial deal. kinda like a 2 star afterthought becomes a starting WR as a freshman or something like that

It is not really NIL, it's pay for play. Wasn't meant to be this way, but they can't stop it now. They can make a lot of money for mediocre play.

Agree. Things quickly got out of hand. NIL (name image likeness) is not really mentioned except to give a name to their contract. I said contract because they sign something. Other than the Dr Pepper and Nissan Heisman House, how many businesses can you name that a player is getting paid to represent? I don’t even know who Nico represents and he’s getting a reported $2M a year.

Not exactly. Nico supposedly made 2M last year and played very little. Based on this year, I highly doubt he was the one of the best last year. That is called potential. Paying a college player on potential is a very dangerous game, unless you are using “somebody” else’s money.

Except he received money the day he signed (CA high school ath could get NIL) and that was for being the #2 ranked QB in the nation. So again, the best players make the most.

You mean "pay for play" and negotiated salaries based on performance?

Isn't that called professional sports?

Wake up...............this is NFL Minor League...............and it is Professional Sports
The BEST players are NOT getting the most money..............the Players with the Best Agents and Best Press is getting the Best Money
Best example of that is the $$$ Manning is getting and he hasnt been on the field enough to tell if he is any good. If his name was Jones....he would get a dime

Absolutely no one is forcing TX to arrange big money for Manning. If it's dumb to pay these guys, it's the schools who are dumb.

The schools have fought for unrestricted NIL and multiple transfers without penalties.

They got it. They can't control it but they got what they fought for so if it costs millions to them or those of us who donate, it's apparently what the schools think is best.
