Geo: you said the impact of NIL is overestimated by fans. I honestly have no idea but I’m curious. Question: can the players take out insurance policies against future lost earnings in case of career ending injuries? I’m just trying to make sense of how a kid that doesn’t come from wealth can pass up a big guaranteed payday that would change the lives of their family, just because they love Pike or a particular school. An insurance policy could help offset the risk.
Prior to NIL how do you think they paid players and got around paying taxes? Best money laundering ever?
We are beating out SEC schools for these kids. I hope you believe SEC can and do pay kids a lot of coin and have been doing so forever. They are getting paid. The Rutgers collectives do not pay recruits, that money is used for retaining players.
Richie went on record confirming ace had multiple 7 figure offers.
This is a crazy thing to say given how many people on this board alone are tied into different athletic departments across the landscape. It’s common knowledge there are schools that have gotten to 8 figure NIl budgets in 2023.
Don’t get me wrong there will definitely be NIL on the table for all the guys… i just don’t like the downplaying of the great recruiting and connections by the coaches. They’re doing an amazing job
I believe Richie heard that
So players aren't getting paid now nor were they ever getting paid. You're so naive. You might be the only person in America who believes this
I know what info is public or not . And who is discussing NIL -- that was done already-- an athelete providing a service i.e. an NIL, usually becomes an independent contractor or an employee and those monies are reported and taxes paid along with the usual. However many were discussing nonchalantly that under the table "gifts" in the millions for no services would be handed out by billionaires as if candy. Hefty fines for hiding that and not paying can get you more than penalties. Now if you're
College sports boosters and athletes are the best money launderers and tax evaders ever?
Obviously lol
I know KTR had a lot of success with the donation matching a few months back but everything has kind of gone dark in terms of visibility. Maybe that's by design on your part, maybe not. How is the collective working on raising it's profile with the general RU community?
The NIL matters, but also GS lost momentum and the recruits and NIL donors have short memories. I’m rooting for him but he’s got some chopping to do.
Dean getting offered 70K = two years of the cost of living stipend + academic bonus + housing allowance (and a place to get a relatively inexpensive apt off campus) + 10-20K of NIL - with the condition being a bunch of personal appearances and social media posts.
To me the success of recruiting is how bringing in new players translates in to winning games.
You should really consider joining premium where some more tidbits about money are given
I am. I didn’t see anything more about Reiber on the Round Table
Seton Hall shirts should only be used for drying cars after the car is washed
Jeff Towers and his millions are running the show now. Pay to play 100%.
Nahhh, they should be wetted and used to scrape off heavy dirt buildup and bird poop before washing the car. Or for cleaning up spills and wiping hands during oil changes.
