Good for him. Gets to put some cash in his pocket. If he flames out or seriously injured, at least he got some $$$.

I'm all for kids getting paid but this kid hasn't proven anything yet. He's a top rated QB and is getting this kind of money because he's playing at Alabama. If anyone wants a prime example of how this is going to have a big effect, here you go.

Saban even says:

Our quarterback [Bryce Young] already has approached ungodly numbers. I’m not going to say what they are. He hasn’t even played yet. He hasn’t been a starter. If I told you what he’s … it’s almost 7-figures. And it’s like the guy hasn’t even played yet. That’s because of our program.

Again. Good for him. Alabama has been cashing in off of 5 star players for ever now. Now some 5 star kids will cash in off of Alabama. Sounds fair to me.
 
C'mon, the schools in Alabama are a means of developing the state.

Unreal. So Big Ten pays better?

Dude's mullet should be a hit in Ohio.

No, Texas just ruled that HS players can’t profit off NIL until they are no longer playing any HS sports.

What could possibly go wrong with 17-18 year old kids pulling in seven figures at a time?

I'm sure the scum of the earth are already trying to surround these kids.

What a total, complete and utter mess.......

The kid isn't named Samson. He could get a haircut and still retain his athletic ability no matter where he plays.

I am pretty sure I was not insinuating or assuming such, but thank you; I feel enlightened.

No, you were insinuating that his hairstyle would be a hit in Ohio because...why? Do you really believe Ohioans prefer mullets, or would you concede that perhaps they prefer kids who are talented QBs and recognize talent when they see it? You're anything but enlightened.

My hair is much longer than his and I am in my 40s. I have a lot of experience with long hair. Again, thank you for the enlightenment. Where would I be without you?

Ever hear of marketing? We're talking about NILs, not the Biblical story of Samson. Get a grip.

Miami QB D'Eriq King signs NIL deal with NHL's Florida Panthers

Miami quarterback D’Eriq King continues to take advantage of name, image and likeness opportunities.
sports.yahoo.com sports.yahoo.com

So I found this article interesting. Not because King signed with an NHL franchise but because of the Tweet sent out by the Panthers announcing it. It showed his picture and just said Florida Athlete. I know (think) they can't use the university logo, but can they say where he plays, etc....I ask because the image doesn't even say that.

In Miami, as QB of the Canes, King is known...I assume that the Panthers in Miami need not identify him more precisely.

Phew. For a minute I thought he was being paid by the FIU Panthers.

The amount of belly aching about college players being able to get paid for using their likeness is incredible to me.

“Do ThEy StIlL nEeD tO Go To ClAsS?”
If they want to remain eligible or graduate, obviously.

“pEoPlE wIlL tAkE aDvAnTaGe Of ThEm.”
Lots of people already do, including the coaches who get paid seven figures and the NCAA. What is the worst thing that happens? They blow all their money and end up broke like most other college graduates?

“WoRk FoR a LiViNg? LoL”

What? You would take money to do some photo shoots and promote someone else’s product if you could? Sounds more like jealousy to me.

“WeLl I wOn’T wAtCh BeCaUsE tHeY aReN’t AmAtUrEs.”

Okay. Yeah. It’s pure. There’s a “for the love of the game” element to it that is nice, but you’re not into it now that these young dreamers can actually get a check? What, were you hoping they would flame out before their payday? For a lot of athletes, this will be the only chance they ever have to get paid for their sport.

Does this disadvantage colleges that aren’t already powerhouses? Yes. I expect this to ossify the current hierarchy lead by P5 schools, but with money off the minds of many athletes, maybe they’ll be able to better focus on school and their sport. Some will get distracted sure, but you probably won’t notice a big difference at the end of the day.
