This. I truly believe this is one of the best effects from NIL on football.

It’s far more widespread than SEC.

Remember cam newton and his uncle asking for $180k to play? A player like

You think Kentucky has a better roster than us? Yikes not sure I agree with u

Money given by 1 person does not equal the total amount able to hand out.

So someone donated $10M to be divided evenly between football & basketball?

Tare

I'm guessing they're are more football donations in general.

I would imagine most of the collective’s NIL funds are invested in some sort of

The person you spoke with that would know, doesn’t know.

This honestly wouldn’t surprise me at all. at this stage it’s almost logical.

Mark Comer of the RBC said something similar a few weeks ago on Criddle’s show.

Seems like QB, LT, and a high end pass rusher would be worth individual deals

Paying players isn't something new, as players were being paid back when I went

That’s partly because few we’re paying players

puntersarepeople

That doesn’t mean they have the same amount. That’s based on one donation.

So football should prioritize positions - QB, OT, DE, and so on

I dunno, to be at the top of college football you have to compete with Alabama,

Even if BYU did pay more they still wouldn’t compete because there’s no reason
