DON’T KID YOURSELF

Hopefully Thomas makes it big in the rap game and we can tie in some merchandise deal with him and make the U **** famous like 2 Live Crew did for us back in the day.;

You don’t think there are any UGA businesses owners in Atlanta or all across GA for that matter. I‘m not against this ruling, it’s long over due, the players deserve to be able to make money. However, I just don’t see how this is not going to make it worse for a small school like UM. I hope I’m wrong though.

Yes, but the biggest US markets are New York, LA, DC, and Miami metro areas. Do the math.

This is basic business and marketing. What is the correlation of donations and marketing? NONE. There is 5x the population of people in South Florida than in the whole state of Alabama and half of them are Auburn fans. If a car dealer wants to use a player as advertising, there are more people with more money to buy more cars in South Florida than any college football city with the exception of LA. It's all in the market.

You are stuck in this box that can't think beyond boosters. The Alabama boosters will shovel out money with negative return on an investment.

Put another way. If a player was paid for a football video game likeness based on the fans of his school that purchased the game who would get more money? Does the best player on the best team get the money or the guy whose community bought more games. Products that reach more people, make more money.

You are correlating boosters and fans that fill these 80k-+100k stadiums. Miami has way more fans. Fans in South Florida are fickle. They don't always go to the game, but everyone watches. Again, why are we the top school for Adidas? Not because of the small school or small alumni base, but because 1/2 the 10 million people in South Florida owns a Canes T-shirt or hat. Imagine DymeLyfe creating some player specific gear to sell to a population of 10 million people let alone the nation. We are a bigger national brand than Alabama, OSU, Clemson, or LSU. Nobody in Cali or New York rocking those schools, but you'll find Canes gear everywhere.

No one knows yet what the rules or regulations or if their will even be a cap. But one thing is 💯 sure. Bama and the rest of the usual suspects will find a way to break them to their advantage.
I’m sure the if t Boone Pickens were around he would be buying a fck ton of jerseys right now.
However, there are a lot of you on here that don’t understand how much this city resonates nationally and internationally.
No one in south America or Europe is gonna wear a **** Alabama jersey. But they sure as **** will wear a Miami one. Alabama has not resonated well with the rest of America the way Miami did and likely will if we win. Maybe there are some marketing gurus on here that have access to merchandise sales. I can guarantee that their sales are concentrated heavily to the south. If Miami makes the playoffs we’re selling gear everywhere.
This administration if it’s worth a **** better be getting the sharpest minds in the business to start marketing the sht of this school. Adidas better have a tent pitched outside every sofla high right now.

So does this mean kids are gonna get agents? Cuz you need a middleman to get the endorsements and if not will the assistant coaches do that and if they do, do they get a cut?

then I guess fiu,fau and sfla will magically become big time.this just makes the bags legal and taxable.there will be more separation from those that can't compete now.which means us if there millions of customers buying cane merchandise etc.the money would already be here like the other big time programs.

I see a lot of posts claiming that the new NCAA rule allowing players to profit from the use of their likeness will help Miami. Not so fast my friend. To the contrary, it will serve to benefit Bama, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, LSU, Notre Dame, Texas, etc, etc., in other words the “big name” schools and the “big campus” schools. If a top notch high school QB can go to Ohio State with 45,000 potential customers on campus, and 100,000 potential customers going to every game, and literally millions of alumni, OR, he can go to Miami with 15,000 potential customers on campus, and maybe 40,000 at a game on a good day, and not even 10% of Ohio State’s alumni, where will that QB sell the most T-shirts and make the most money? And believe me, money will always win out over sandy beaches, nightlife, and warm weather. It just became much more likely that the chances of Miami winning another national championship have dramatically decreased. Naturally I hope I’m wrong. Time will tell.

Actually, I think the situation remains much the same. Before it was no money vs money...now it's some money vs. more money. Kids that want to be Canes will continue to be Canes...Winning cures mostly everything.
