Is each school required to report all athletes that have NIL deals to the NCAA? I have not seen anything about how it is being tracked. I am predicting a very strong correlation between NIL deal amounts and recruiting rankings.
That's true. What's a good solution that still involves players being able to earn money? Pay them based on performance? Just offer less? Shorter contracts, like only weeks?atm0812 said:
NFL contracts are also rarely guaranteed (except for QBs), so they have to continue to perform year after year. NBA and MLB contracts are guaranteed, and a few players clearly take advantage.
I'd wager after a couple years we actually see less of the big NIL deals as it becomes more clear that 18-20 year olds are not a good investment.
I agree, we will eventually see fewer NIL contracts given for the legitimate purpose of mounting a successful advertising campaign. But, you have to separate businessmen from rich boosters.atm0812 said:

Yeah, and that even goes beyond their on-field performance. Will people buy something just because a college athlete is awkwardly promoting it on Instagram?atm0812 said:

It's not gonna be the case for all young guys. Some will handle it, some won't. It will certainly benefit NFL teams on draft day, though, as another measure of maturity.Panama Red said:Now do Matt Corral and Bryce Young.AggieJoker90 said:
