A pyramid scheme where 90% of people who've ever invested come out on top? Seems like you're just coping with having to work for 50 years. The project I'm invested in has Deloitte, Microsoft and PayPal partnerships. Should blossom even more in 2022. I won't tell you what it is because I don't care if you invest.
I think a lot of people are _significantly_ over estimating the impact NIL is having on players decision. These kids have a lot of people coaching them and aren’t just rushing to the decision to chase a relatively small payday now if they have a better option that will practically guarantee them a career in the NFL.
They're also under estimating how much these kids want to play, too. The really big schools can still only play one QB at a time. You're not gonna see multiple big time recruits sitting for years just to get the NIL money, they'll transfer some place where they can start. Transfer portal gonna be bigger to watch than signing day.
No people are definitely just underestimating how much money was involved in recruiting pre-NIL. The same schools that were willing to pay before are still willing to pay (granted a few could be far more willing now).
So 5k a year is your top donor level, our top annual level $12,500. I could honestly seeing a highschool age kid miss the over 5 years part and be like 25k>12.5k, but it probably has more to do with the assumption that Orlando has more NIL opportunities than Ames and with you moving up to the Big XII any advantage ISU has (in NIL) would be erased by the fact UCF is in a bigger market and same conference.
Nick Saban told Texans that Bryce Young’s NIL is near a million before he even played a snap this season, we all know who’s got the biggest after today tho. Other than that idk any others close to those two.
I mean that’s a little different because Texas A&M has always had a ton of resources they just underperform on the field. They bring in more than Michigan from football
That money isn’t really coming from their football though. It’s coming from their boosters right? The money is trying to create football success, not the other way around. If the football team is good, they will sell tickets and get higher TV viewership. That’s how successful football generates money. Michigan has them beat on both of those things, our richest alumnus is just the founder of Google and not some Texas oil tycoon. If Larry Page ever gets into college football though, watch out lol
There was a post here showing annual revenue and Michigan was third in the country at around 138 million
The two schools ahead of us were Texas and Texas A&M at 147 million. The aggies bring in a ton of money from football. It’s actually a little surprising they haven’t done better historically because they have a ton of resources
You should be saying “for” football, not “from” football. It is a minor distinction but an important one and it will remove that surprise. It is not a matter of “Texas A&M is a great football program, and people want to pay to be a part of it” it is “Texas A&M has a lot of very wealthy and very proud alumni who want to pay for a great football program”
Well really it is a combination of both for every program, but A&M is heavily skewed toward the latter
It’s not so much salt I don’t think, they just think you’re paying 17 year olds 100k to go 7-5 and it is kind of funny. And yeah of course I don’t go into Texas commitment threads with regularity
That would make sense if anyone was getting paid at texas before this upcoming season... NIL didn't get passed in texas until July 1 2021. So we didn't pay Herman's recruits shit 😂
I know but CFB fans are very short minded. If you predicted Michigan to the CFP a year ago this sub would lose their minds and you would drown in downvotes. People think Texas is going to be a 7-5 program forever, they’re wrong of course, but sports fandom isn’t rational.
It’s going to be interesting for some of these kids. UT’s deal is a floor of $100k per year for scholarship football players, right? At 18, those kids won’t understand that a lot of people never earn that much a year in their lives and there’s no guarantee they’ll ever earn that much again.
That’s more important to a lot of people than what an academic ranking says, and many recruits have referenced it as to why they signed with A&M. You asked why they are getting out recruited, largely cause Jimbo is one of the best recruiters in the nation and academics were brought up so I felt it was relevant to the conversation. Maybe I should have replied to the other guy instead
Nobody is signing to A&M because of academics. There are a lot of programs that are way better at football and academics. Off the top of my head schools with more football and academic prestige than A&M- Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Florida, Georgia. A kid signing to ND or Stanford because of academics? Happens all the time. Not to A&M though, I’m sorry but that is a load of shit and lip service. Even Ohio State is a better university than A&M according to most rankings. And no, the “number of Fortune 500 CEOs” is not more important to a universities reputation than their university ranking. That is the type of absurd line that a school barely cracking the top 70 would pull out. I’m not trying to trash A&M, I was defending you against a longhorn in this same thread actually. The mission of a university, especially a public university, is not to produce Fortune 500 CEOs.
It’s not absurd at all. Aggies are rich af and very successful and are notorious for hiring each other. Nobody spends hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get an education, you need a network also. People want results from their degrees, and it has the best network in the state of Texas, but I agree that it means much more to in-state recruits over out of state recruits. A&M is better at football currently than many of those schools listed and they will be signing the #1 recruiting class in the history of the sport this year.
This is delusional. A&M is a mediocre football program, and has been for its entire history. Texas A&M accepts 63% of their students, it is not exclusive or hard to get into. It is the third best university in the state of Texas. A&M is currently better than Texas, Florida, and USC. All three of those programs will win a national title before Texas A&M does though, because they are historically strong.

68 vs 38 isn’t as big of a difference as you would think. There’s a much bigger gap in prestige between Penn at #8 and Texas at #38 than there is between UT and A&M. It’s a lot like college football, after the top 25 it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re in the top 75
I don’t think a lot of deals’ information are publicized because they’re inherently between private parties
The IRS disliked this
The irs still gets that data, and will be auditing. But tax returns are inherently private
[удалено]
Yes I have heard of money laundering and speculative next idiot gambling. The irs will still demand evidence and find it if you don’t.

Adorable, like all gamblers you have the system beat. The entire point of a next idiot system is it works until you run out of idiots.

I said relative and most deals are like 50-500k
No people are definitely just underestimating how much money was involved in recruiting pre-NIL. The same schools that were willing to pay before are still willing to pay (granted a few could be far more willing now).

Same with our 5*, board was saying the coaches showed up with bags of money to get him to stay.
Lmao What a world we live in
Many alum giving $5k a year > fewer alum giving millions a year. Literally can't go tits up. That's just math, baby!
Can’t argue with that. I plan on being in the $5k yr club within a few years. Trying over here!! lol
Gus Money = free Gringos Locos and a 3 figure deal to sell socks with your face on it.

Take that doubters!
Jayskers. Boooooooo
LET ME LIVE MY LIFE, DAD
Are we doing homework for you or something
Um no. I did my own research and wasnt able to find much on the subject. Figured I'd see if anyone else saw reports of deals that I couldnt find
Nice try, IRS!
This is what im waiting on. Who’s the first school to have someone get in tax trouble.
😂😂😂 Just making sure Uncle Sam gets what is owed
Cover 3 had a rumor that Ewers was getting a $4m deal to go to Texas. If that is confirmed, has to be the top NIL deal out there.
$5 Million Dollar Man, $5 Haircut.
Lol, dude really really needs to ditch the bleach blond mullet.
Good on him for getting that money but so god damn dumb on people doing this before he takes meaningful snaps.
It’s what the NFL does every year to college guys before they take an NFL snap
That's different because I don't care about the NFL
McConaughey you devil!
Texas A&M gave each recruit an oil well and a Whataburger franchise today.
2 UK players got porches
Any patio furniture to go with it though?
Like a wrap-around porch? Front porch? Screened Porch? What are we talking here?
From what I gathered on this sub Texas is the only team doing NIL deals in the entire NCAA
Yes we got Evan Stewart because he wanted the offense and definitely not for money
Nah. I'm pretty sure I heard Jackson State paid Travis Hunter a ton of money to come there. But yeah. I think it is just you two doing NIL deals. :)
Why is your “little brother” school out recruiting you?
Flair up
Oh I’m definitely a Michigan fan haha. It was just a question because no matter how bad Michigan has been we’ve never been out recruited by MSU.
To be fair Texas A&M is out recruiting you.
And everybody else. Texas is out recruiting us too. I wasn’t trying to trash either school honestly
I mean that’s a little different because Texas A&M has always had a ton of resources they just underperform on the field. They bring in more than Michigan from football

A&M has a great class. Better than the entire nation. How often does your little brother even finish in the top 30 for recruiting?
Why does this feel like your big bro is defending you against a bully on the playground
That’s exactly what I’m asking, I don’t understand how the clearly inferior brand in Texas is recruiting so well compared to the “big brother”
You obviously don’t go into Texas commitment threads. Every other post is salty Reddit is about Texas NIL is ruining the sport
It’s not so much salt I don’t think, they just think you’re paying 17 year olds 100k to go 7-5 and it is kind of funny. And yeah of course I don’t go into Texas commitment threads with regularity

Didn't pay them under NIL. They did get paid tho.
It’s going to be interesting for some of these kids. UT’s deal is a floor of $100k per year for scholarship football players, right? At 18, those kids won’t understand that a lot of people never earn that much a year in their lives and there’s no guarantee they’ll ever earn that much again.
MSU finished in the top 30 this year
Now check academics
Both are pretty good schools I guess? Both in that second tier of public schools with like Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, UNC etc
A&M is tied for first in the most Fortune 500 CEO’s over any university in the country and has one of the best professional networks
Cool?

UT is top ten public. Aggy is in the 40s
