OVERLOOKED? Oregon's Evan Stewart will play HUGE leadership role for Ducks in 2025 in WR room

Yes, that is why it shocked me about the amount! Instead of a signed Letter of Intent, should be changed to a binding contract.

The linked article refers to a 50 million package, so I believe it very well might be 10 million a year...

The majority of verbals do stick, but they are certainly more fluid these days!

So many conundrums. Clearly needs to be a cap, yet no one is authorized to create, let alone enforce one. And yet no matter the rule set, it’s the same teams always on top. I mean, when has USC not had 4 and 5 star talent the last 25 years?

When the list has most of the Ivy League schools and the military schools, you know it is click bait.

If I don't see a contract, I take all this with heaping grains of salt. The 10 million also could be over all 4 years, still staggering, but less eye popping than 10 million for 1 year.

A bunch of hogwash

On the Other Hand - Cooper Flagg reportedly earned staggering amount of NIL money at Duke WWW.YARDBARKER.COM Cooper Flagg was a can’t-miss prospect during his time at Duke, and he was apparently compensated more than accordingly. $28 Mill in NIL deals. This may exceed the total salaries paid to folks in Maine, at least, Newport, Maine.

And people accuse OBD of buying our roster.

"Commitment" is a word that hasn't met anything in sports for a long time, along with loyalty. It started with the coaches of course, one day they're in a living room, telling the prospect and his family how great it will be to coach his son at... and then a week later the coach is somewhere else. Even back in the day, and still now, player's "flip". A flip won't really happen now because a player will only be at a team as long as he wants. In the NFL, players renegotiate contracts all the time. In college, we've seen NIL deals being tossed up. If the NIL ever does get managed. The renegotiation, like in the NFL. will become normal in college.

I wonder if a top 5 O-line is making $10 million in NIL dough? PFF says Oregon has one of the top offensive lines in the country DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon football has one of the most talented offensive lines in college football according to the analytical site PFF.

I agree with Charles, IF this report is accurate, this is INSANE! Will this young man be better next season than OBD's TE Jamari Johnson, who transferred in from Louisville at less than 10 MILL? For benchmark purposes and FWIW, Sark has vehemently denied that Texas has a $40 million NIL payroll. House Settlement - $20.5 million 1st year direct payment cap. 75% is estimated to go to football, $15.375 million. 65% to one untested player? If the House settlement is approved, every NIL deal over $600 () will be disclosed. What team bid this guy up to $10 million? Bama? Georgia? I don't see it. Why go gaga for the 2026 class when the floor and ceiling for a position will most likely soon be set? Is this a 'Recruiting Win' or an 'Auction Win?' At least at an auction, you have a good idea of what the item is worth. Frankly, I don't see this as any kind of win unless the young man single-handedly leads SC to a Natty, which under the current payout would be a $16 million return. Paying a recruit close to what you are paying the head coach? Maybe, maybe, $10 million if the guy plays ball for four seasons in South Central, but $10 million a year? 14 NFL TEs are being paid over $10 million a season. TEs under a 'rookie pay-scale contract' are earning @ $2.75 million a year. If this is true, please $C, do not $top paying absurd amounts of dinero!

Beyond ridiculous. SUC will soon bloat themselves up with a $100,000,000 plus roster of prima donnas that will just demand being handed the bag without feeling the need to put in the work. How soon does the era of load management hit college football? They aren't under any contract to actually play in the games. Do these multi millionaire college kids start skipping the less viewer rated games like Rutgers or Northwestern and just play in the highly viewed match ups? There are so many ways this mega bucks era can blow up on itself and I'm glad that SUC is so willing to be the guinea pig that finds out first!

Absolutely crazy and unsustainable. This is one way to get legislation figured out!

OUTSTANDING!
