Kudos to this young man. Might see more of this from star players - like a QB giving to the big uglies that protect his back side. See some of it in the pros.Like I said, EVERYONE is getting in on the NIL, schools be damned.

I grew up in Margate and have spent the last twenty years out in Texas. Last week I went back to S Florida with my family to visit my Dad, go to the beach, and see UM. One impression I had is just how much more crowded Dade County has become. Even Coral Gables, with some huge buildings going up. I-95 was in parts decrepit, and some of the drivers were seemingly living out GTA fantasies. I can see why some would not necessarily flock to the area. I love S Florida, but there are some downsides.
It in theory would give UT an advantage, but Tom Herman recruited quite well and couldn’t get over the top. UM has more wins in the last decade than Texas. As another poster said, financial incentives will only go so far - and will potentially inspire the wrong type of player to join. Coaching and schemes are still needed, and if UT fails then they’ll struggle to attract talent. Living out here Ive seen it, much to the chagrin of my friends.
Not if the reported income falls below taxable income thresholds*.
I think I know of 2. I’ll go with @wspcane for this one.
@Empirical Cane is pretty much right, but those thresholds vary state to state. I’ll use Georgia as an example. State taxes are about 6% starting at $7k for singles. But as mentioned, this is contingent on income being reported. I’d guess a lot of these guys will be 1099 independent contractors so it’s going to largely be on them, though what they report will have to link to the companies filings.
Great post.
The owners were friends of my grandparents going back to the 40’s on the Beach. That maitre d (can’t remember his name) made $100’s of thousands per year from what a relative once told me.
Oh yeah. And they ultimately dinged him for it. I mean imagine the gladhanding and handshakes he used to get during the 70s and 80s down there. Insane.
We never waited but we mostly used to go for lunch. I remember when I wanted to go myself with a college buddy who was visiting- for dinner when I was younger - and It was set up for me in advance but if I recall, I shmeared him on the way out. He wouldn’t take it on the way in. It was probably 30 years ago so I’m hazy about it.
These days, just give me the fried chicken, creamed spinach, hashed potatoes, and key lime pie from the to-go area and save me the aggravation on the rest. But, Miami is also a much better food city than it was even 10 years ago.
