What’s overpaying when it’s all subjective?

$1,000,000 is way more than a guy like Chriss, who is still a relative unknown and is about .500 as a starter should be receiving through NIL based on other deals I've seen. And that's exactly what my opinion is....subjective

That’s right, but $500K is also too much.

None of these players NIL are worth a dime except for the school they attend. Now their ability is worth something to the schools.

There have been many of numbers thrown out here. I don't know the number, but $1M is farfetched for a QB that has started 5 games. There are experienced QBs with eligibility left that aren't getting that kind of money.

Arch Manning made 3.2 mil this year in one report I saw. Many have said that if his name wasn’t manning he would have not been the top QB in La. FYI. Brock Purdy will make 870k and he’s favored to be the NFC QB in the Super Bowl.

That's his "NIL Valuation", not how much he was paid. His first deal was for with Panini America which auctioned off a trading card, collected $102,500 & that money was donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Austin. There's tons of headlines that say he signed a deal for $3.2M but when you read the actual article it's just what On3 values him at.

That's a rumor. I doubt his number will approach that, but we'll likely never know the real amount.

……Minn coach says that he is definitely a Big 10 QB after our game…. Wisconsin coach says the value of a big1o QB is about $1-$2 mill……makes you wonder!

Minn is a great example. Minn has lost THREE QBs to portal.......THREE. I believe that includes their starter (Cant swear to this) If he truly believes his words and it is not "coach talk" about an opponent (coaches never do that.....ever). Wouldnt be at the minimum be heavily recruited by Minn?

ZC could one day be a franchise QB. He left way too soon. Unless you have an endowment of $50+ billion(UT Austin) You don't give away a million unless it's a lock he is better than your current QB or any other available QBs you rate higher in the portal. 247 has 39 rated higher than ZC as of this am.

But but "schools are not directly involved"- says the ncaa

In another thread I mentioned about we are all using information to support our beliefs. This recruiting class is a perfect example:

Doom and Gloomers = We are 12th in the SBC in recruiting rankings, we are terrible at recruiting.

Sunshine Pumpers = We are 2nd in the SBC average recruit rankings. We are recruiting better talent than the rest of league.

The facts:

1. We have the 2nd fewest commits so far at 13.
2. The overall rankings is simple math of the # of recruits multiplied by the average rankings to get to total points.
3. We absolutely celebrated when we had #1 recruiting classes under Napier.
4. Troy is #1 in average ranking per player, but 10th in SBC in overall rankings.

Nobody here knows how many scholarships were projected as normal attrition. Add to that those that won’t be invited back, and finally lost to the transfer portal that we wanted to keep. Clearly a lot of speculation.
