Curious as to how NIL changes per year depending on the players performance??

For example. Jaces situation is bound to be going up by the day

Wonder how much other schools are going to be offerring him and yes it isn't legal but we all know schools are going this

Going rate for this type last year (Tommy White) was six figures.

Matador Club = funded by Double Eagle and other Red Raider led operators. DE has flipped Permian acreage 3 times and are on DE IV now.
In all seriousness, it's time for them to scrap the Red Raiders mascot and change everything to the Texas Tech Double Eagles. They are to Tech exactly what T. Boone was to OSU.

The $6k may be referring to the money paid out by athletic departments as a result of the Alston case a couple years ago? It's basically payments to athletes that stay academically eligible. The universities aren't required to pay it out, but quite a few are. Original amount from the case result was $5,980. Not sure if that's what is being referred to here, but thought it was worth a mention.

My neighbors dad is head of Scouting for the Midwest for the Phillies. He told me that kids are not signing later in the draft and opting to stay in school because they make more money in NIL than they do getting a small signing bonus and playing low A ball. Makes sense

Yes. I've said it multiple times that NIL during the wild west is going to make sports like football and basketball probably tougher to continue to appreciate at the same level, but NIL could turn college baseball into a more defacto minor leagues. Low A ball teams will suffer, but the college game could absolutely flourish. This ultimately could/will lead to overall better coaches across all of college, more investment in stadiums, ultimately more tv/broadcasting coverage, etc.

Another reason why it's massively important we do not piecemeal and think small re: the Olsen upgrade. We need to build a ****ing gem that can stand on its own for decades.

It's not that. It's real NIL.
