So is it correct that we have $2M in ours? I guess that’s for football.

How much for Basketball?

Interesting I heard on National radio last night that Dion’s son got $6.2M last year? That can’t be right. Arch Manning $2.9M. Marvin Harrison Jr was also a big number.

Originally it was said NIL would not affect the team because quarterbacks and other stud players already were privileged. But talk about the have and have nots. I want the players paid but I wonder how it affects the team. I also want people who love our University, but I guess things are changing.

Collectives are not the only means with which people are paid through NIL.

Collectives are thankfully going away. They were the law of unintended consequences for those who didn't see what the NIL ruling allowed to the creative and sleazy - it was too easy to see and exploit the myriad loopholes of starting fake corporate entities, enticement, etc. In a year or two it will be unionized collective bargaining with straight disbursements from the school to the players. Perhaps a salary cap with minimums.

The pending billion $$ class action for NIL payments to past players is the really fun stuff. Rumors of settlement requiring every school to cut a check of upwards of 8 figures. Good times.

I’ll put this here about NIL’s.

Per Dan Hoard last nt: it was reported that Ok St BB coach said his team Was barely scratching $500k, when 6 Big XII teams paying $2M.
Interesting

A friend of mine is related to a rotational football player at Ohio State. The player is getting $500K. Imagine what the good players are getting. Legality the bag man so he has no risk/downsize was a stupid decision.

If Wes wants to keep his job needs to put a million of his salary towards this and go buy himself an alpha player for next year.

I think you really have to want to believe these sorts of numbers, but in any case, OSU has several assistant coaches making more than a million dollars a year, so it doesn't seem outrageous for players to make half that?

Can you say- is this a skill player on O or a DB? I am guessing not a lineman despite their importance.
