Recruiting NIL vs normal recruit

[g8r.tom]

it couldn't hurt...

Depends on how much he pays....

Anyone else think it may be time to let @Double Gator Dad go?

Grey shirt him.

Honestly ive always thought the NIL model should be a collective one. All NIL goes through one clearing house and even pays out to all athletes who contribute anything in the pot. Either at the conference level or at the division level (probably easiest at the conference level. Playing in the SEC should be worth more than the big12) a cut of all conference revenue has to go to that pot %10-25. No body gets super rich but everyone gets paid and it’s all even and across the board

Communist, lol

Florida Victorious (the new gator collective) pays athletes promo fees for their work for non-profits. The athletes get $$, the non-profits get exposure, and a little goodwill happens.

NIL isn't just for QBs and major corporations.

It's also for ALL sports (women's too) ... not just revenue generating sports.

NCAA president calls new bill 'major step' for NIL

Senators hope the Pass Act of 2023 "strikes a balance between protecting the rights of student-athletes and maintaining the integrity of college sports."

The better football athletes have always been paid. It was either under the table, in a bag, or for a job that they didn't have to show up for. NIL has brought it into the open and now recruits can compare offers in writing. I am will to bet that every football player is getting something. It's non revenue sports that are going to have stars that get paid while most don't.

Fans that show up to the games and watch the games live deserve NIL money too. I mean, they get to enjoy the successes but they also have to suffer through the losses so they ought to be compensated for all of that.

Isn't that basically the argument for reparations for the descendants of slavery?

 

[CGgater]

Maybe there should be an annual vote amongst all the student athletes (at each school, all sports) to determine if the nil money should be shared among them all or if individual athletes keep what they are offered. That would be very practical lesson in the pros vs cons of socialism.

Princely U. said the big difference between the Gator Collective and Florida Victorious is that last year most players - including him - had no tie to the Collective and saw nothing from it. Victorious includes all the football scholarship athletes and lots of other sports too. That’s a big change and should help the team culture. He thinks it has.

They need to get over it. That's the way the world works. The better get paid more. Obviously a 5 star is going to get paid a lot more and a 1-3 star will get nothing. It is what it is. Does a pro bowler have the same salary as a bench player?

Depends on his Handicap.

And good morning to you! Amen, amen & amen. I get the Lakeland Ledger (also a USA yesterToday paper) digitally and it’s a pamphlet. No more perusing a fat Sunday morning paper. Sucks.

Re: NIL - I hope the staff communicates to these kids the value of the non-cash baseline they all get:

Tuition, fees, books & supplies
Tutoring
Housing
Food
Clothing, shoes & gear
Medical, dental, eye care, counseling
Coaching, strength training, dietician, etc.
World class facilities

Years ago UF said they spent an average of $350k on each scholarship football player. ( I think that was over their career.) Must be way more now.

Excellant point re non-cash baseline.

Compare what "scholar" athletes recieve (in ALL sports) with what an academic scholar receives.

Isn't college supposed to be about academics?

College, yes. College football, absolutely not.

Depends on whether the student is in-state or not, but it’s around half that figure.

I grew up reading the Ledger at times. They had a pretty good sports writer at one time. Patrick Zier if I am not mistaken. My grandparents got the paper forever. I would read it when I visited. I remember my grandfather reading it by this light in the kitchen. But back to the paper. It is an abomination. I have to read online Saturday. No opinion pages any day of the week.

Zier is still at it. I think he’s pushing 80? I saw him at a 5K a couple of years ago. Looks just the same as he did in the 70’s.

Ledger is the same way. I’m a digital subscriber only, read the print edition on my iPad.
