NIL Valuation

[SinisterCane]

Like beauty, NIL valuation is in the eyes of the beholder. NIL value is determined by the peculiar needs and goals of a team, and not by what other teams are doing or not doing. This is not the real estate market or stock market where the combined action of market participants determine value. This is why any attempt by the clearing house to not approve a NIL deal will fail in a court of law.

I’ve said it for a while here that no one except a school can determine the value of a player. Dereek Copper and Texas prove this right. If we have $$ like most say we have including D$, why did Texas come in in the last minute and beat us out? It’s because Cooper is worth more to Texas than we think he is worth. It’s for this same reason that we won out on Jackson Cantwell. The clearing house cannot disapprove Texas without a court battle that the clearing house is most certain to lose.

There is nothing like overpayment in NIL. You pay what the player is worth to you. Simple. We will keep missing out on south Florida’s super elite players like JS, Cooper and the 2028 QB phenom, Lawrence, if we don’t pay. Only the teams that are willing to pay will be the ones winning the most ships.

If Cooper was offensive lineman from Florida, he would’ve been signed and there’s your problem with Mario

So are we saying Cooper is Barkley or McCaffery?

Those are the exception. Not the rule. On average, the RB position has drastically lost value compared to the other positions on the team.

U tell me? One minute he was a must have, Cane lock; next, he’s overrated & don’t see it w him as a RB. So that’s a convo that needs to be had w the board, not me. My point was only elites at any position get paid.

Which would require Lyle getting a lift next year. Or he leaves. Which means that you then have to spend potentially even more to lure a veteran HB in through the portal.

If he wants a raise, then that means he had a pretty good year and teams are throwing the bag at him.

I think your own players give you a little discount. Will he go to a new team…new staff…new city where the difference isn’t that great since we have no state income tax?

That’s why it’s hard to get a J Smith into the portal since he’s taking so much risk going to a new team.

I can’t speak for the more emotional individuals that care deeply about keeping players home at all cost. However, I’ve never mentioned him as a must have.
