Take a look at the individual recruiting rankings. If it were only about money, then no highly rated recruits would be going to schools other than the big boys. You think Missouri and North Carolina can out bud Bama, TAMU, UGA or OSU? No they can’t.

Saying the most important thing in recruiting now is the NIL is as foolish as saying money is the most important thing when hiring a football coach.

Teams sign 25 players a year…. I don’t think all 25 will get huge money deals…..I would guess the top guys from each recruiting class will get good nil deals while the rest will receive much smaller deals…. That leaves plenty of guys to go to schools like NC or Missouri…. I know receiving a great NIL deal would make a huge difference if I was being recruited…. Wouldn’t it you?

Sure a sweet NIL deal matters. All I am saying is there are a lot of other factors involved in recruiting.

Do people always take the highest-paying job available, regardless of the company, the hours, their boss, their colleagues, etc.? Do kids (whether they are or aren’t athletes) always go to the school that will cost least or give them the most financial aid? The answer in both cases is no. Money is a factor among other factors. No more, no less.

Say you’re eighteen and playing football is your dream, and you visit two schools. The first one you like the coaches well enough, their program is in good shape, good facilities, decent location.

The second school you LOVE. You jive with the head coach and your potential position coaches. The facilities are on par or better than the first school. You adore the campus and location, plus your cousin Gerald can come watch you play, and you haven’t seen him much since he moved away from home.

Now say the first school can get you a half-million NIL deal. The second is gonna get you 100k, which is still a mind-boggling amount of money to your young brain.

Which you going with?

Really, because I know people who’ve taken huge pay cuts to work at a certain company and parents whose kids have opted to accrue student loan debt to go to a school they loved when they could have gotten the same education elsewhere. Choosing where to go to college is an extremely emotional decision. These kids are way less jaded and calculating than many of y’all seem to think, although the Zoomers probably are more practical as a rule than any generation since Silent or Greatest.

How many of those type of people do you think they are compared to the ones that took better deal?

Enough to make the statement that NIL is all that matters a load of bs.

It’s not all that matters but it is the main thing that matters….. 95% or better go for the better deals…. There are other things that will affect that decision but money is the number one thing by a large amount.

Do they have parents with access to the internet? Then they will go with the 500k. Because compound interest.
