What type of name-image-likeness payments did your band mates receive?I was in the band when this commercial was filmed, but couldn't make it that day - so I'm not stuffing my face forever on the internet.
Yes $8 million for the coach is obscene. These are universities. Their primary missions are to educate and further research. Shame on the donors.Perhaps. What level isn't obscene?
Is $8m obscene? The amount people want the University to pay the athletes coach.
Note - the $25m isn't money directly from the school funds. It may or not be available for other charitable resources depending upon the source.

That is definitely from the 1990-91 season as some of those band members graduated in 1990, and we did not have those pep band sweaters before that season. They were paid with free food inside that you can see them eating in the actual commercial. A couple of my roommates and a lot of my band fraternity brothers were there. Thanks for sharing it!What type of name-image-likeness payments did your band mates receive?
Here is a longer version. Title says 1985 but commenters disputed this and zeroed in on 1990.
A few weeks ago, a member of Wisconsin's band signed an NIL deal with a Midwestern convenience store chain. Not sure if he is paid in cash or gets free products from the stores.That is definitely from the 1990-91 season as some of those band members graduated in 1990, and we did not have those pep band sweaters before that season.

If the 25 million is a real offer I think you take it and bank it. That's life changing money for multiple generations. When you add in Seniors money, you have the flexibility to do what makes you happiest. You have to make sure it's a solid offer though.
Top WR contracts this year on an annual basis:
Tyreek Hill, 4 years $120 million ($30 million average)
Davante Adams, 5 years $140 million ($28 million average)
Cooper Kupp, 3 years, $80.1 million ($26.7)
AJ Brown, 4 years, $100 million ($25 million)
Stefon Diggs and DK Metcalf, 3 years, $72 million ($24 million)
Rookie contracts are for four years with a team option to extend it to five seasons for first round picks. Figure on contracts 5-6 years from now being larger than those numbers, too.
The #2 pick last season (CJ Stroud) signed a rookie deal worth a guaranteed $36,279,243. He got a signing bonus of $23,384,904. So if the $25 million is accurate, he'd be getting roughly the same amount this year to stay in college vs. go pro. But he'd be one year closer to that bigger second contract.
The #6 pick got a deal worth $28 million. The #12 pick got a deal worth $17.8 million. The curve is pretty steep after the first five picks.
I would say if Harrison is a top 3 pick this year but falls to #6 or later next year, he would end up costing himself money in the long run. His first deal could be worth $8-10 million less if he does not remain a top 3 pick (lots of mock drafts show him going to Arizona at #3), and he would have to wait an extra year to get to a potential BIG contract.
NCAA missed a chance to put structure to NIL , but they choose to fight it. Could have guidelines like a max per player $100,000 per year and a max pool per team such as $3 million for football. And then do an annual adjustment . That probably had some potential when it was 0 before. I would think GEO in his days might have been happy at $100,000 per year at that time. He helped move the whole process, but never benefited from inow.
Well, apparently it's only $1M to $2M for a QB through the transfer portal. So Harrison, who is excellent, is somehow worth 12X this...They are going to pay a WR 25 mil but don't even know who their QB is- that number has to be completely wrong.
Where does Ricky Santos' kids play?Fun Harrison family stat : Marvin Harrison sr, was 4-0 against Rutgers, while at Syracuse . Harrison jr. Was 3-0. Making the Harrison’s 7-0 against Rutgers.
Has there been a more successful father-son combo against us ?
