A good DL was bringing north of 500k. Scourton got 650k, a car, and a house.
Wow! They must have to make a lot of personal appearances!
He agreed to stay at Purdue for 300k, then went on to A&M for 650. Cannot say I blame him.
Walter’s has been saying he needs 5 mil to be a middle of the big ten team. I think Purdue is believed to be nearing that. Have to think the market will correct some. It’s crazy
I had assumed there would be stipulations in the contract to prevent such an event (minimum games or etc.).
See Texas A&M coach buyout. Or Tom Allen buyout…. Or Archie….
I know nothing about it. I’m assuming there are contracts because that’s what makes sense but who knows the whole thing is so screwed up anyway?
GBI had it. Some other sites. Idk. Not something I actively remember. Just remember the numbers.
One of the few NIL rules is that playing time or in-game performance can't be tied to the money.
You do understand those numbers aren’t even close to being true. Those outlets just regurgitate what they are told with no proof. They also quote each other.
I have no reason to believe they aren’t true. Especially the Purdue number. Do you have the actual numbers?
Nobody does except the IRS and the contractor and contractee
But... if a player is a failure and I've given him NIL money for that season I dont believe there is anything that can require me to give money to him the next season. Unless, there's a multi year contract, and I don't believe those are required.
Worst than that....stay health and leave next year for more $$$.
Yeah and I’m sure they are honest about the numbers. Insert sarcasm
NCAA has guidelines and the states do the rest. If your state doesn’t adopt or write rules then it falls on the ncaa guidelines. Indiana currently doesn’t have state governed rules so we are using the NCAA.
So you have no idea if the numbers are true or not. Got it
Neither do you and just as many who post numbers also refute those numbers. Nobody truly knows and it’s in the best interest of the players and coaches to shroud this in mystery. They don’t want anyone knowing the true numbers. So stfu.
Sorry for stating what was reported and widely discussed. Considering it takes 5 ish mil to field a middle of the pack big ten team, 10-12 mil to push for a championship, and Purdue is rumored to be around 4 mil, those numbers seem fairly accurate.
Give it up. Nobody truly knows especially people outside the circle. Those articles and “nil” player rankings are speculative. The true heavy hitters even keep their stuff quiet. The only ones who get loud about it are the Miami private school types. We know how that’s working out. It’s in these schools best interest to keep it quiet and they will leak out just enough to make it a gamble.
Along that vein, Tennessee is under NCAA investigations for the 2nd time in 4 yrs. in multiple sports for potential MAJOR NIL violations.....things are pretty rocky on Rocky Top
