OT: Michigan makes stunning $10.5 million NIL offer to flip No. 1 QB recruit Bryce Underwood from LSU
- Thread starter BROTHERSKINNY
- Start date
I think “started” a long time ago
But NIL will continue to sky rocket . The schools themselves are now mobilizing to provide some serious funds that aren’t even there yet.

This will never end. There are enough blue bloods with deep pockets that whichever one is "down" one year will drive up the market to get back to where they think they belong.
As I posted earlier this week or last week:
One juicy element to this recruiting battle former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions, the alleged mastermind of the cheating scandal, is an assistant at Belleville.
Cooking the golden goose. This needs to be regulated and conference revenue sharing ASAP.
Interesting - wonder if schools go the academy route and privatize their ADs so they can seek external funding and treat players like employees.
It’s a little misleading when you see 10 million and it’s over 4 years. Yes 2.5 per year would be out of control but there has to be a no play no pay portion of the contract.
What about injury insurance.

$2.5 per doesn’t sound crazy. But yeah what if he enters the draft?
I know nobody cares, but I just went from 2 inches to being completely done with all this bullshit to 1 inch.
If this was for a HC, people would be cheering and doing backflips.
CFB has always been about the rich using their outside money to take advantage of programs with less outside money.
Nothing new here.
Wake me when people want to ban all donor money (including to Atheltic Departments to steal coaches) and not just donor money going to players.

I'm with you. The absurd will continue to get more absurd as the Richie Riches of the world toss their money at college athletes.
I am also with you. This season is the last all in season for me. Need to be a casual fan going forward, until something changes with the $$ ruining what we once knew as college sports.
I haven't seen TE's or receivers get offers like this. Their NIL is surely better than lacrosse would provide but there are again limited spots open. And at the HS level you can play both sports. And a valid argument can be made that there is a benefit to playing multiple sports.
All I’m saying is the money thrown around football and basketball will lead kids to those sports even more and the parents will certainly push.
LSU is going to smoke Michigan in the funds department. Why take 2.5 a year when you can 4 in year one in the SEC down here in the SOUTH
