the athletes become unlikable, entitled, and the fans feel like they can treat them like trash because they "paid" for them, and nobody (including the 10-15 teams) are happy

what did we spend for Slovis? we have at least that much to spend again

byujag

11/29/23 12:45pm

I think Slovis gave us a very heavy discount

Indy Coug

Yeah, there were snippets in earlier reporting saying Slovis wasn't pushing as

It's crazy, I also don't see it lasting either. What is the ROI on that money.

Ojiisan

There is no ROI. None. Zilch. Nada.

That's the problem with NIL. There is no ROI expected (other than wins). It

Which is an abuse of what NIL was suppose to be about

HairyCougar

11/29/23 2:55pm

Yep, but since it was rushed with no rules, pay for play is the result

CameronG

11/29/23 3:57pm

Actually, the reason there are no rules is that the NCAA for years refused to

Boosters pay millions and millions of coaches salaries and buy outs, and have for decades. It’s the same thing

For Oregon/Washington, Texas, OU, LSU, it has been high.

They do: tv contract basically pays for salaries, which comes from fans

It’s Pay to play at this point. It’s donations to a player. there is no ROI for

The ROI is power and access to the program. None of these people think they are

That has never stopped the SEC.

The ROI is winning games. Winning games= more fan support, tickets sold,

Loyal2Royal

The schools don't pay the players. Random boosters do. The boosters don't see

Some don't care as long as their team wins games

HairyCougar

11/29/23 3:06pm

It's emotional satisfaction, not financial return

krindorr

The bigger issue is what happened to someone like Cam Rising who literally

tamasiaina

11/29/23 4:06pm

Why? He is not paid to play. He could still post on SM and record commercials

Those numbers are made up

Gustav

11/29/23 12:51pm

On3s NIL Valuation math is the most made up thing on earth.

molodyets

11/29/23 1:05pm

No doubt inaccurate, but I don't believe anything these coaches are saying

Gustav

11/29/23 2:23pm

On3 isn't even close. It's just their valuation, not a real number

stansburycoug

11/29/23 1:05pm

Rising is reportedly getting that and isn't NFL QB

groy

You are right that only a few are at 1.5, but if you lower that to 1.0 pretty

My interest is nearing zero, doubt I'll even watch the playoff. A decade ago

darkcoug

Nope, you just have the XFL if you disenfranchise that many people

That's more than Brock Purdy makes for the 49ers right now

CameronG

11/29/23 3:55pm

That’s right, he makes abt $900k this year for 17 games. NIL is so out of
