Pete Nakos is out here throwing some big numbers for WR making over 1 million a year.

Kids deserve whatever they can get but I still struggle to wrap my head around college players making this kind of money. Some of these guys aren’t even that good.

I remember being a young kid and people would criticize athletes salaries

And I’m like wait…what about the people who pay them? The ones using them for their talents while their fat asses do nothing?

CFB is an $10 Billion/yr industry. Why is it hard wrap your head around a $1M salary?

I mean a few guys making $1M isn't crazy.
... But probably Cause thats vet min in the NFL, and the rosters in CFB are 2.5x larger than the NFL.. **** Practice Squad for the year only gets you paid <$250k.
And it may be a $10B/yr industry, but each program isn't making that. The VERY TOP programs are making $150-$180M (oregon-ohio st). The Bottom P4 programs are making closer to $60M/yr in revenue. ... The NFL is a $23B industry and only has 32 teams. Teams bring in about $500M (like Bengals)-$1.2B (like Cowboys) in revenue... And like legit 100% of your neccessary yearly expenses are covered as a CFB player.

If you wanted to think of it compared to the NFL Multiply everything by 6x for like the top 10 spenders, and closer to 10x for the bottom of the P4 spenders. Thats the difference in pay between what you'd expect from CFB programs to NFL 6-10x. Then you gotta factor in roster size... NFL WR room is usually 5 or 6 guys. CFB is like 11. So naturally the top contracts must be less, because you got similar positions to pay. So instead of it being like a 6-10x multiplier, it shoudl be like 10-15x... So like a WR making $1.8M is more equivalent to a NFL player making $18-$27M/yr effectively...

But NFL has a salary cap and CFB NIL is free market.

Take away the salary cap in the NFL and players would get paid much more

Eh. Most CBAs are for about 50% of revenue going to players. Take away the salary cap and probably 5 teams would significantly increase their spending, 5 significantly decrease, and another 15 either direction... mlb has 6 above 60%, 9 50%+, 21 <50%, 6 40% or less... Sure they have specific players that may make more, but as a whole? If there is no cap it becomes purely about market and revenue.

There's a big difference between "getting money" and getting $7 million to get blown out. The money being spent is out of control and isn't sustainable.
