Absolutely don't believe this reporting.
I have to admit, the idea that this kind of money could be handed to a 22-year-old, whose prime accomplishment is being good at football, is pretty messed up.Does Ohio State have a cancer research center? Send the money there ffs.
Buckeyes' star "allegedly" has massive NIL offers to inspire his return to school
According to Christian Williams of Footballguys, Ohio State star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and running back TreVeyon Henderson - who announced a return to the Buckeyes already - have been offered NIL deals that mirror the compensation of what a first-round NFL Draft pick could earn, in hopes of inspiring a return to Columbus next season.
Harrison is projected to go as high as No. 2 in the NFL Draft, so that financial figure could be close to $25 million, per Sports Illustrated's Andrew Brandt.
Or you can spend it and try to win a national championship, and have that flag fly forever and make that seem like a drop in the bucketYou can save $25 million and still lose to Michigan.

I highly doubt he’s getting 25 million a year, that seems a bit much, but if Saban can get 12 million in a year, I don’t get what the issue is with paying the kids who are actually playing
At some point it becomes beyond obscene to lavish that kind of money on athletes when there are so many more worthy causes. This is a university.I have to admit, the idea that this kind of money could be handed to a 22-year-old, whose prime accomplishment is being good at football, is pretty messed up.
Yep, that’s why I’m doubting that it’s that high. 25 million for one year, even for a talent like Harrison, seems a bit much.$25 million is larger than any single year in a 1st NFL contract, even for a talent like Harrison Jr. In fact, it is the rare 1st contract that totals $25 mil. though they do exist.

35 over 4. 25 over 1. The single year at that value would be one of the highest for a WR in any single year. That would be the 4th highest average for a WR in the NFL.Not sure what you mean by your 2nd sentence.
Last year the #5 pick got a $35m/4y contract.

I don't have an issue with them getting theirs, but there's a point where you have to make rational decisions about what this is getting you in the long run. For example, you can throw out a bunch of NIL to returning players, go undefeated and still get left out of the college football playoff. Now, that's not likely, but it could happen. 😎Or you can spend it and try to win a national championship, and have that flag fly forever and make that seem like a drop in the bucket

Though regulation is needed in both NIL and the portal, these things usually even themselves out.I don't have an issue with them getting theirs, but there's a point where you have to make rational decisions about what this is getting you in the long run.

I see what you did there. Well played, Sir.I don't have an issue with them getting theirs, but there's a point where you have to make rational decisions about what this is getting you in the long run.

Ooooh, oooooh! I know this one.How do you compete with that?
Robert Smith, a very good RB at Ohio State who played in the NFL, was also a Pre Med student. He quit the team because the coaches at the time said he was taking his education too seriously and ordered him to miss classes to attend team meetings and practices. I think that shows where the priorities lie.Does Ohio State have a cancer research center? Send the money there ffs.
His name gets him into the top 5. He’s a stud and no one wants to pass on him and his career turns out like his dad’s.I read a lot of NFL Draft stuff, and I am increasingly amazed at the number of mocks that have Harrison at pick 2 or 3.
That isn’t to say that he is not an excellent WR with a chance to be elite in the NFL.
However, the difference in impact between elite and really good is less at WR than it is as most positions. In addition, other positions like QB, OL and Edge can have a big impact based solely on their own talent and play, while a WR requires a team to have a decent QB and OL before they can take advantage of the WR’s skills.
That's crazy.. it is worth it.. unless he gets injured.. and that is more likely in the NFL than in college.This will sound crazy, but that's not worth it if he'd really be the 2nd pick. Get to that 2nd NFL contract ASAP to make your BIG money.
Agreed. And have others have said, there's already a professional league that I could watch, with a higher quality product, if that's what I was interested in.At some point it becomes beyond obscene to lavish that kind of money on athletes when there are so many more worthy causes. This is a university.
Still not worth it. There are a lot of very good receivers out there. It isn’t worth using a top pick on a guy who is incrementally better.His name gets him into the top 5. He’s a stud and no one wants to pass on him and his career turns out like his dad’s.
