Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[engineerVOL]

So do athletes make royalties off their likeness on the new NCAA game? How much is that worth?

 

[Devo182]

Boosters at schools like Bama, UF, UGA, LSU, Auburn and aTm are going to continue to do whatever they want. Things work a certain way there and have for a long time.

And we?

Have you noticed any shift in things becoming more restrictive since the Pruitt debacle and with the new staff or do you think we're still able and willing to "play ball"?

It's poop again

Funny, I literally just read an article the other day mentioning what they were in 2013. "Tier 1" schools were given 75k. Less than 1k/scholarship player.

Who knows what a new deal would look like and I've seen tweets suggesting the royalty rate is increasing, but that gives some context as to what they're willing to pay.

Doesn’t the NIL actually serve UF at a considerable disadvantage? UF doesn’t dominate a regional/state wide market the way UT does since they have to compete with U of Miami and FSU (not to mention all of the people not originally from Florida). As a result, I would think local businesses would be less inclined to pay for one of their player’s likeness. Just a thought.

And we?

Are different. Some players we recruited and landed in the past would not be coming here now.

I'd agree. The Gainesville metro population is only a third of Knoxville's as well. Lot more eye balls up here.

If the lawsuit over NCAA games settlement is any indication- around $50-100

The NCAA needs to disband. It's a joke and it will just ppl are seeing it for what it is more and more. Or just have the power 5 conferences break away from the NCAA.

And some players who get in at other schools wouldn't be academically cleared at UT. And there is support for raising UT's standards even more.

And we don't have pro teams. I think that's the sweet spot, since our athletes are the biggest in town...the opposite of LA (USC/UCLA). Those kids won't even be top 10 athletes in their city, if top-25.

Based on population and the above, Austin and Columbus should be in the best of spots. Some have mentioned MLS teams...but meh. No football, baseball, basketball.

Knoxville is at the top of the SEC...another major sweet spot with the SEC advantage added on.

Exactly! Our town is crazy about football and it’s players. I don’t see how this is not a huge advantage to UT

 

[ACvol3]

Even better.

That’s awesome

We’re never going to be good again.

Baseball needs electronics to read balls and strikes in a bad way

Then top players will sit out of the game and demand more money.. lol

There's corruption at every level. Conferences are just as corrupt-- and that trickles down to some ADs.

 

[ACvol3]

I don’t think so. Part of Georgia’s NIL law was 75% of endorsements being put into a pool for the rest of the schools athletes i’m pretty sure.

I thought they went back on it after uga football raised hell

 

[Weezer]

I mean if I could make a little money shaking a few babies and kissing some hands I'd take the opportunity

Sounds kind of like stripping.

I wouldn't say that. But we're rebuilding a certain way, and the coaches have been assured they have whatever time it takes to do it.

Thought all this nonsense when booger eater left

That sounds a lot like throwing in the towel on football tbh

 

[Weezer]

I tell my girls it is in the Constitution.

Tell them if they don't laugh you can have them deported to Canada. Also tell them Canadians smell funny.

 

[Weezer]

The Beatles sucked. @ me.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

How much money does our university make off our football team? That should be all the answer you need.

That's because of us, not who puts the jerseys on...and it is a state University not a ***** corporation. I pay to see the Vols because I am a Tennessean, not because of whichever dudes wear orange for a couple of years

 

[Weezer]

I had you figured for a Pat Boone kinda guy
