not true? I saw it on social media. it has to be true..There's no way that can be true. If it is, it's one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. You could give that money to people who don't have clean water/food/medicine, but instead you'd rather watch a future millionaire play 12 more games for your school?
Remember the good ole days when it was just a used car?
Seriously, guys like Terrelle Pryor and Reggie Bush have to be shaking their heads at this stuff.Hell, a flexible hooker and a couple tattoos could get you to the Orange Bowl.
Now, that probably couldn't even get you a visit from Ben DiNucci.
Or a nice apartment and/or a no show job.........Remember the good ole days when it was just a used car?
what's funny is the ncaa sold this as an amateur athlete getting compensated for his likeness and not pay for play lol.Either way, he's going to get a deal worth millions. This is a huge problem because it's just an arms race. Why doesn't this happen in the NFL? Someone Dallas billionaire wants the best players, why can't they make a "deal" and not have it count against the team's cap?

The only way this works long term is if there is some sort of oversight that determines if the deal is a legitimate NIL deal paying a realistic amount or not. In this case, what is he being paid $25 million to do and is that the going rate for whatever that thing is.what's funny is the ncaa sold this as an amateur athlete getting compensated for his likeness and not pay for play lol.
i mean, they honestly told us this.
and the even funnier part is, most college athletes are prohibited from selling their jerseys wiht names and numbers or "school gear" with their likeness. That's pretty much what i thought this would be. a Zion Williamson type recruit/player getting a duke hoops jersey or tee shirt on the nike outlet racks with his name, and him taking a cut..
I mean, that would at least be honest. yeah, gives the dukes, uncs of the world a huge recruiting advantage but they already have that.. This getting millions to do nothing is just dumb. i think Kenny got a free truck at pitt but didnt he at least have to do a commercial?

yeah, this is crazy. but how do you enforce this? If im a rich pitt fan (sadly im not) and i want to give the Diaz twins 25 million dollars to re-tweet my social media ads for my spanish restaurant (Oh and btw, stay at pitt and dont transfer out) then how does the ncaa enforce this?The only way this works long term is if there is some sort of oversight that determines if the deal is a legitimate NIL deal paying a realistic amount or not.

I really started to turn to players getting paid years ago when Jalen Rose said that during the Fab 5 years, he’d go to the mall with his food stipend to eat at the food court and see kids wearing his Michigan jersey. Then he’d walk by the sporting goods store and see his jersey hanging on the rack and he couldn’t afford to buy it.what's funny is the ncaa sold this as an amateur athlete getting compensated for his likeness and not pay for play lol.

This shit is so out of control….lol, fantastic. what kind of sucks is he's rich from his dad already, but hey, he earned it..
I was more offended by Jurkovic getting $200kThere's no way that can be true. If it is, it's one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard.

wait to you see what federiko is making on the hoops side.I was more offended by Jurkovic getting $200k
At least, unlike Jurk, he makes a positive impact most of the time.wait to you see what federiko is making on the hoops side.
$0. He isn't eligible as a foreign-born player. At least that is my understanding.wait to you see what federiko is making on the hoops side.
we need to put an end to this myth about foreign players being ineligible for nil compensation.$0. He isn't eligible as a foreign-born player. At least that is my understanding.
I'll just say that he is making a very good amount of money. Pitt is not getting anywhere near the value at this point.Someone told me last week Federicko was offered 130,000 by Florida in the offseason and we matched. Is that true?
Not everybody bought what the NCAA was selling.what's funny is the ncaa sold this as an amateur athlete getting compensated for his likeness and not pay for play lol.

You have been vindicated!!!!I remember people criticizing and doubting me when I said that Jurkovic was getting a good 6 figures NIL from Pitt. Uh huh.
No way. Total BS.lol, fantastic. what kind of sucks is he's rich from his dad already, but hey, he earned it..
It's not a myth. Its the law - not an NCAA rule but immigration law.we need to put an end to this myth about foreign players being ineligible for nil compensation.

They have to file taxes like a contractor.It's not a myth. Its the law - not an NCAA rule but immigration law.
There are apparently some complicated workarounds being used, though.
And you can’t do that with a student visaThey have to file taxes like a contractor.
