Steven A Moderator No. 1 Share Posted January 13 Report: QB Jaden Rashada had $13 million NIL deal from Florida fall apart WWW.MSN.COM If the Jaden Rashada situation isn’t proof of how much college football has become like the pros, then nothing is. Crazy numbers if true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian Moderator No. 2 Share Posted January 13 Sorry, that is fantasy, until I see the contract. Are these kids getting crazy money absolutely, but no way I believe they are getting 13 mil as in Freshman. 1 mil is stupid in my opinion, but it isn't my money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontrollonshobbas No. 3 Share Posted January 13 I wonder how many NFL 3rd string QB's with remaining eligibility are looking at this and wondering if they should go back to playing on Saturdays? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Funduck No. 4 Share Posted January 13 Is $13 million true? What specifically wasn't honored? Did the real money come down to about $2-$3 million? Did Flo-Rida promise 'More' money than Me-ami' to acquire the services of Rashada and then reneged? Inquiring minds want to know. Pandoras box has been opened so there is no going back. But, I would hope these kids don't go for every last penny for their college decision. For example, if their dream school is Oregon with $1.2 million in NIL and Utah comes calling with $1.5 million, can they be happy that they received enough NIL AND their 'Dream' school?

Haywarduck No. 8 Share Posted January 13 Gambling on a 1st round NFL qb, and a large guaranteed contract is a crap shoot. Signing a high school kid, and giving him a ton of money is playing roulette, probably Russian roulette. I like Oregon's direction, show you can set up a qb for success who has potential. This is the same direction we have gone with coaches and we have had great success. All it will take is one program having success with the big payout to a high school kid and the rest will follow them off the cliff. I hope Oregon never goes that route. I do look forward to more transparency of what is going on, someday. For now we can only guess, and watch what is happening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartm25 Moderator No. 9 Share Posted January 13 I have to believe a correction is coming to the market at some point. Surely, giving millions to players that have not played a snap of college football will result in enough wasted money that the market will correct to paying the least experienced less than proven commodities, right? Modest amounts for newcomers, and increasing amounts for good performance and staying long-term with the team. It's been said in the past that it can be detrimental to shower new NFL players with fame and fortune at such a young age. Only thing worse, in my mind, is showering fame and fortune on 17-18 year-olds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 11 Share Posted January 13 I believe the promises of money in this range... not sure if I fully believe the payouts at the moment. But there are fan bases have have some rich alumni who want their program to be relevant again... looking at Florida for this one but we have also seen this with Tennessee and USC and Texas would also make that list. I can see a lot of these programs lacking any sense of restraint and promising loads of money but then not delivering come signing day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Funduck No. 12 Share Posted January 13 There will come a time, not sure how long, when the 'Collective' chooses to restrict funding of NIL programs due to no NC banner in the rafters. To be sure, stupid money will always follow stupid dreams. But, I'm waiting for the 3 star QB to win the Natty. When that happens you better believe that this QB NIL will come back to earth.

Because they'll just be sued and they will lose the case as they have over and over now on this issue. The issue is that even if we begin to get to the point where schools pay players as employees, that doesn't mean squat in regards to NIL. You can have a salary cap in a league like the NFL, but that doesn't mean there is any cap on the amount that a player can make off of endorsements. So you'll still have these collectives and boosters who will bid for players by promising to get them an endorsement deal that is basically bunk, I mean does anyone think any of these players are actually providing any real value for the things they are promoting!

Jon Sousa No. 21 Share Posted January 13 I can see a $13 million offer with $.5 million true freshman year, $1 million redshirt freshman year if he sees the field, $2 million sophomore year if he becomes the starter, $4 million junior year if they make the playoffs, $6 million senior year if they win the championship... Less if benchmarks aren´t reached, more if they are exceeded. Multiyear contract with incentives, just like the coaches... with the ability to fire if expectations aren't met, just like the coaches.

'Pay to Play' is still technically against the rules. True indeed, but there is no contract when kids are being enticed to sign/transfer. It's just somebody's promise (hence, the article above - a promise was at least perceived, but not kept). When a big donor is promising a big deal, you don't think the big donor won't add, "...and if you stick around and do really well, there will be more... a lot more." The whole idea behind NIL is that the athlete's name, image, and/or likeness will be worth something that the athlete should be able to cash in on. If the kid is a bust his NIL is worth nil. I am sure that any intelligent donor/employer would make that perfectly clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
