"It's Gonna Cost You" Looking at NIL

[F-MarioCristobal]

I don’t disagree but where are you getting these figures?

I made them up

Bama?
Oregon not a surprise but I would have thought Ohio st / Texas sitting a close second. Figured Alabama in the 5-10 range, didnt think their NIL was built like that.

Guess that explains the zero letdown in recruiting post Saban

Think they used a lot of NIL to try and bridge the gap and not let the class suffer in the transition (from what I heard anyway)

Seems logical

Bama and UGA uses Nil and the “ old way “ .

That "old way" worked like a champ!

Lots of money when there were few teams paying significant bucks.

When this NIL became allowable - I knew Saban had just lost the key to his recruiting successes. Scooping in at the last moment to see a prospect - and BOOM!

Dropping their prior commitment - and declaring for Alabama.

And they were just the biggest in the SEC - as they were all doing it.

That’s why I was assuming Bama. Their NIL wasn’t built like that a year ago

Bama was still heavily in the dark arts under Saban. I think they juiced up NiL for new guy.

Remember that “Miami still won’t be able to pay like the SEC” narrative? Those were fun times.

In retrospect, perhaps the money was always there but the old system (NCAA looking to preserve perpetual blue blood status for a handful of schools while at the same time enforcing every rule against teams like Miami) prevented us from spending.

OSU pulling out all the stops

I still truly believe 4-5 years from now these numbers wont be as high.

There is no return on this....there will always be spenders and recruits who command a crazy sum.

Same for all these other sports. Yes Livy Dunne or the Cavinders will get money because they have huge followings. But most non football/bball athletes will be getting sums closer to monthly spending money, maybe a car lease.

I think what we’re likely to see is huge chunks of cash for a handful of superstars but less money for everyone else. I don’t mean recruits either. The money will be going towards either keeping a top player on your roster or luring one from the transfer portal.

Barring a complete economic collapse I think this continues to escalate. Total team NIL expenditures will exceed $100M annually, eventually.
