NIL’s

Got to get our guys to smile for pictures. He looks like he's taking a picture with his dentist.
At this rate... we are going to need an NIL war chest to re-recruit Luis and Brady...
I know the crazy level of college football NIL agreements are sometimes in millions like Manning at Texas, but I find it hard to get my head around a local star with allegedly a price tag of 750K. SJU is working hard to develop NIL resources, but for non elite schools that one kid could swallow up the NIL fund leaving little or anything left to recruit other kids & transfers. I am glad kids are finally getting compensation, but professionalization of college sports obviously widens the gap between elite schools with football and others.
The contributing factor of the value of the NIL's is these high school rating companies. Granted these kids are skilled, however, where they're rated affects their value. Secondly, the NIL's are distributed accordingly, the grey area is if/when they ever make it to the NBA, or it they perform in college to the ratings bestowed upon them. As we all know, most don't.
I wonder, with so much transfer dependence to turn programs around or raise results up a notch, what the % breakdown is between HS & Transfer NIL $ spent? I suspect transfers, more of a proven commodity, have higher % of the pie, but just a guess. In any event “agents” must be happy.

This CBS article gives a good idea of what starters at high-major basketball programs are getting.
But roughly 100 coaches did answer to the best of their ability, and we came away with the impression that transfers who project as high-major starters are typically looking for something between $200,000 and $300,000 -- and often getting promised around $200,000 in NIL deals to enroll at a new school.
Are some getting more? Yes. Are some getting less? Yes.
There are outliers on both ends.
But most coaches told us the floor for transfers who project as high-major starters is around $150,000 -- and then what amounts to a bidding war can and will take things much higher.

Candid Coaches: What NIL price is a projected high-major starter in the transfer looking portal looking for?
Name, image and likeness has changed the game when it comes to recruiting transfers

That's honestly a pretty fair number.
Two interesting points of comparison:
Top 10 Euroleague salaries: highest is only 4 mill
G-League highest salary is 40k
It's easy to see how a high end transfer portal guy can do the calculation he'd make more money in college.

Good point, how do you justify paying high NIL's to a proven player vs. a true freshman. Problem is this is all subjective, and I feel that if a coach wants a player they will pay. When I say pay, I don't know how transparent it is, but I'm sure the coach is in the "negotiations" of the NIL's.
G League Ignite, which is for HS kids who don't want to go to college have a different pay scale.
The G League Ignite offers select contracts to high-school stars looking for an alternative route to college basketball. These prospects can earn contracts that offer more money than a standard G League player. These recruits earn between $100,000 and $500,000.
I'm not sure who the big NIL donors are or if they post here, but if you're reading this then I appreciate you for carrying this program. NIL realistically is the one thing fans can do as individuals to improve the performance (makeup) of teams, and it's the top few donors offering hundreds of thousand who win these bidding wars. Without them this program would essentially be DePaul (or worse).
I'd imagine the current big NIL donors are older and were fans of the program during the 80s and 90s, and I doubt we've picked up many during the 21st century. Another big reason this program needs to start winning ASAP to secure a new generation of NIL donors.

Disagree respectfully. Aside from top 30 the big $ is in transfers
Also bigger money in proven transfer who have more than 1 year left even though they are signing 1 year deals technically 10 months with some schools.
Also the sooner they sign the better the later in summer gets insane

Tennessee, Virginia AGs file lawsuit against NCAA over restrictions on NIL for recruiting
“Tennessee and Virginia are seeking a temporary restraining order barring the NCAA from enforcing its NIL-recruiting ban or taking any other action to prevent prospective college athletes and transfer candidates from engaging in meaningful NIL discussions prior to enrollment.
The suit pointed to the Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision on Alston v. NCAA in 2021, which ruled that the NCAA can’t limit education-related payments to student-athletes.
“Those rules — especially the restrictions on compensating college athletes — are in fact “subject to the Sherman Act,” “subject to the rule of reason,” and often plainly illegal,” the suit reads.”

NCAA stuck in quagmire of its own making with latest NIL mess
College athletics sits in a sort-of purgatory — stuck, it seems, between archaic amateurism principles and a full-scale professional model.
