Stupid question, but do the players see all of that money that they are “valued” at? In other words, Karaban is really worth $1.7 million as a college Junior? (Any clarity is appreciated as I still don’t understand all the NIL stuff.)

Yea I'm not quite sure about the "valuation" numbers and what they mean.

I'm pretty sure that it was reported that Paige had made well in excess of 1 million real dollars in NIL/endorsement deals a couple years ago. She's only increased the breadth of product endorsements and activities since. That 1.4mm number seems like a gross underestimation IMHO.

Yes, Paige was a millionaire in her freshman year. I thought Azzi got $1mm as well.

I think it's just an estimate of what ON3 thinks they'd be able to make. I'm fairly sure Paige has made more than Alex thus far. She has 2M followers on Instagram. She had hundreds of thousands of followers even in High School.

Not a stupid question. That "NIL Valuation" is just a number On3 basically makes up. It does not reflect actual NIL deals.

I can't get the article to load, but if they're using On3 numbers that means less than nothing. It's just some random formula they created based on social media following and is in no way based on actual NIL deals
Yeah, that’s what It is.

I think Paige probably blows all the men's players away and good for her. She's awesome. Alex and all the other guys who make it will make a lot more money than her when they leave school. I don't think Paige will ever have to worry about money.

So dumb. This means less than nothing. I hate “ valuations” people take them to mean that’s what a player is getting paid and it is never close to the truth in either direction.

That’s my read too - it appears to be a forecasted value NIL amount (based on Social Media followers, etc) rather than hard what someone actually earned numbers. That doesn’t mean we don’t have good real numbers, it just means these are not the real numbers.
