40acres Posted Thursday at 06:11 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:11 PM When NIL first became legal I wondered about this scenario. Will fans continue to contribute if their funds are wasted on bad teams? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5745716/2024/09/04/florida-state-nil-team-budget-2024/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I have heard several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Ramirez Posted Thursday at 07:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:30 PM FSU, Colorado, and Clemson are cautionary tails in the days of NIL. FSU and Colorado show the problems that come with trying to build a program through the portal instead of just filling gaps. Clemson because of Dabo’s stupid refusal to fill any gaps through the portal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArizonaLonghorn Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM A lot of the NIL data is coming from Openendorse's Black Book, which supposedly details about 30% of the estimated $1.7 billion NIL market (my source is the Athletic, via NY Times - link below - may need a sub to access it). Here are some of the tables in the article: they quote average for P4 starters and for position players in the SEC - FSU is paying much more than the average ACC program but roughly 60% of the SEC. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/08/31/business/nil-money-ncaa.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, think a lb commit made a visit after hearing about this to get a raise. Loves Texas, just wants to be paid. I get it. Oregon is costing the rest of the power 2 a lot of nil money.
