Shockers and NIL deals

[Shocker_Power]

Not talking about the Shockers but all schools. When do we see athletes refusing to sign autographs without some compensation?

"You know his last name, now get to know his game. Jackson State Freshman Starting Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is redefining what legacy looks like," the Brady Brand wrote on Instagram.

Along with the Jackson State star, the Brady Brand announced NIL deals with Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara, Villanova men’s basketball player Jermaine Samuels Jr., Maryland men’s basketball player Julian Reese, Michigan men’s tennis player Andrew Fenty, Georgia wide receiver George Pickens, Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall, Louisville baseball player Henry Davis, Boston College hockey player Jack St. Ivany and UCLA men’s tennis player Patrick Zahrag.

Did anyone enjoy the college football championship game between Georgia and Alabama? Probably few did and even more couldn't have cared less.
these matchups will be the norm in college athletics for at least the next decade or longer if these nil rules don't changed or a new athletic association is not developed for schools with less than 100 million in athletic revenue.
Otherwise, here are your top 20 football and basketball programs from this point forward.

I would have cared (watched) if a Non P-5 (Cincy) made it to the big game. The big money schools don't interest me in any way shape or form. It's just too easy for them.

File it under be careful what you wish for. Everyone clamored that student athletes need to be paid with no transfer restrictions. I'm afraid we won't be able to compete in these arms races, particularly at a time when the AD is broke and former big time donors have walked away. Under the current environment I'm not sure how we compete at the level we became accustomed to.

While living in Austin, I became a longhorn football only fan. But I still hate the nil deal. Former players formed a non profit taking donations for advertising charity organizations. Current players get paid for appearing or speaking in support of those charities though this non profit. That's how they are paying the 50k to offensive line

Smart move.

50K doesn't touch the NIL money spent by aTm on their most recent recruiting class. Estimates of 30M.

I think NIL was a good move. With that said, like before, there are going to be schools who still essentially pay players. I don’t think it’ll widen the gap because it wasn’t like the top prospects weren’t going to the P5 before NIL. In basketball, there are only so many scholarships. Football is a bit different.

You are correct. But most of the big money goes to backfield players. Big/uglies don't get much, and 50k is just a start. Players can still go out and get deals independent of this charity group.

It was a great move for 20-30 schools with multiple big time donners. The others will never see a playoff run in football or NCAA run in basketball in the near future. Give it 4 years and at least 300 schools will be crying foul, including some of the P5 schools.

Some D2/D3 conferences paying above the lower-end D1s is interesting.

Some of these conferences probably only have one or two teams carrying the bulk of nil deals. So I'm not sure of the relevance by conference.
