Feeney probably isn't as good as he thinks he is and there is probably a good reason why he didn't play that much. If Simon beat him out that really says something. And this is what would’ve lead to the athletes unionizing if that way continued. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Five Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 9 hours ago, SiouxFan100 said: How much nil was dangled to bison football players for this season? Grey Zabel was offered "life changing money" according to reports from the Fargo Forum. Izzo and Kolpack/McFeeley also talked about it on the podcast in the off-season. Decided to stay and play with his brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted Monday at 01:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:17 PM Maybe it is possible that the "life changing numbers" are being offered to these kids by those not authorized by the university like that kid at UNLV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a full understanding of how restrictive the ncaa was under the prior rules? Do you understand that athletes literally did not own their own name, image and likeness? Would you be ok with someone using your face and/or name to make money off of you without you getting compensated for it?

You have no idea what you’re talking about. 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) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen 5 UND athletes do a commercial for a credit union one each from men’s and women’s basketball, one from football. One from hockey and one other that I’m not sure what sport she plays i just assumed it was a NIL deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison06 Posted Monday at 02:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:51 PM As much I’m not a fan of some of his antics, even a situation like Phoenix Sproles has created for himself on TikTok wasn’t possible even 5 years ago. Monetizing your social media and your own brand is outside of NIL, but an example of how the NCAA owned these kids and wouldn’t have allowed this to happen.

Oxbow6 Posted Monday at 03:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:15 PM I also heard Gronowski got a 7 figure offer to leave SDSU after last season. 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed money by taking the FBS offer but a lot more risk when talking about draft stock. Looks like his plan has completely back fired. He’s not playing for free though. SDSU finds a way to pay their guys. I know Tucker Kraft was making a lot more than your average NIL deal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s interesting that football is the only major sport that doesn’t have a viable alternative path to a professional league beyond being an ncaa athlete. Hockey, baseball, basketball(Europe/G league) all have additional paths. Football needs to adapt, there are hundreds of kids on college football teams right now that are only enrolled in college because they have to be. They just want their shot at the nfl.
