Not sure who he got his advice from but at his age to decline that money was well.....flatout stupid. He looked slightly better Saturday night than the QBs at the Alerus that afternoon. He needed to grab that bag after last season plain and simple. On 10/21/2024 at 10:25 AM, UND1983 said: Having 6 NFL players carry you is something a player/parent should not ignore. He isn't even an all-conference player this year. You guys are literally inside my head on these posts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of NIL deals are for small amounts of money with athletes signing local advertising deals for a few thousands bucks. The average NIL deal in a study done was under 3k. Prior to the new rules, athletes were held hostage by their scholarship while people make literal billions off of them.(see the study done of the value RG3 brought to Baylor university during his heisman run) What have you been smoking? I would be very surprised if average NIL is 3K now. Not sure when the study was done. I still do not like the whole concept but it is here to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know an athlete going to a Power 5 school getting offered 6 figures. Of course the big dollar deals will be the ones that get the most attention. The reality is there are nearly 200k Division I NCAA athletes. An extremely small amount of them are making what I would consider big NIL money. As I’ve stated, the vast majority of these NIL deals are just helping kids pay their rent and living expenses. Allowing student athletes to benefit from their own value in the free market was long overdue. Why shouldn’t a college volleyball player be able to go back to her hometown in the summer and run a camp? Why shouldn’t a business be able pay a cross country runner to mention their business on his social media account for a couple of hundred bucks? Even high school kids can do this if someone is willing to pay for it. NIL “salaries” are a different animal and will eventually be handled with some sort of contracts in my opinion. But, overall, an athlete having their own name, image and likeness rights is a significant move in the right direction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average $2,716 for all colleges, all sports. BUT college football players are much more “marketable?”. Average in Big10 $216,000 and SEC $565,000…football is BIG in the south. These figures do not reflect other benefits….like a highly recruited 4 star player driving a new $90,000 Dodge Ram pick up the afternoon he signed. I also saw the lowest paid person was $67.

NDRA Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Saw a video of the Bison coach coming outta their locker room before Bunny game. He burst outta there like he was being chased by the devil! Has Bubba shown that kind of fire? If so I've missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically that kind of fire is great early on and wears everyone down over time. Meh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this level, players should be prepared, intense and mentally focused on their assignments and how they are going to dominate their opponents. Each player does that a bit differently and I believe the captains/seniors/team leaders should lead the team onto the field. Those are the guys who have to keep the energy level up every time they run onto the field throughout the game. No coach has ever won a game before the national anthem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said anything about specific sports, I was speaking about all NIL deals and you asked me what I was smoking. Of course if you look at the highest paid players in the premier conference in the highest revenue sport that will be higher. That’s how averages work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
