NIL deals changing NFL football?

[kilroy69 1,216]

I just read a story where the DUKE football team is going to pay their QB 4 mil a year for 2 years. DUKE. If you are a college STAR at a big university why would you enter the draft? At this point as a college star athlete the road to go is to get a huge NIL deal right out of high school, redshirt, then play your 4 years. Make 20, 30, maybe 40  million and be so financially secure that if a team drafts you and you do not like them you can just sit out that season and go back into the draft. This the wild wild west man. At the very least this will cause a disruption in the talent pipeline for the NFL. Players NOT wanting to come out because they NEED to make money for their family. Shitt you are likely to have legit star players make enough money IN COLLEGE that they skip playing in the NFL and just go on to being businessmen or doing something in their degree field and not having to expose themselves to CTE

 

Imagine seeing Travis Hunter say fock you nfl. I made 40 million in college. I am going to do what I really love and be an anthropologist.

The NCAA is the worst violator easily but all changes to MLB, NHL, NBA, and NFL since 1989 have royally sucked as well.

It will change college football big time even more down the road. I'll have to find the stories but if you remember back when Maurice Clarett wanted to go into the NFL early he took it to the courts to fight it. Now there is some QB in college fighting in the courts to stay longer in college and still be eligible to play. Dude knows he won't make it in the pros but will get big NIL money. This should be what Quinn Ewers should probably do. HIs stock went way down this past season and if he transfers from Texas (Texas has a younger backup they like a lot)  to some other school, he could rake in half a million in cash or more a year. 

This stuff is crazy.

Mannnn. I was a big fan of Maurice Clarett. He got some bad focking advice that changed the trajectory of his life. Someone who guided him to do that. He could have waited and still been a high draft pick. I absolutely can see how NOW players are going to want to stay in college as long as they can. Petitions for redshirts are going to skyrocket.  Extra eligibly requests too. I WANT to stay in for 6 years.

 

Shittt half a million dollars a year is cheap man. The guy from DUKE is getting 4 mil a year. FOUR. For a college that will never, ever compete for a national title in football.  Ewers could probably make that to a QB needy team. Arch Manning would be wise to ride it out as long as he can also. Use that manning name to sponsor everything in texas. Build up a giant cash reserve of fuckk you money

 

I can envision terrible teams in the NFL HAVING to trade their number one overall draft pick to a better team or risk losing that pick because the player will not play for a crappy team and would rather go back into the draft the next year for a chance at a better situation

I think this would actually help the professional ranks.  I think kids leave too early, too often, to go to the pros and not fully develop.  I think a lot of times they go for the money and get thrown into the fire too quick.  Sure, some of the best work out just fine, but not everyone is like that.  I'm going out on a limb here and say this may be something good that comes from this mess.  Kids who were overlooked during the recruiting process got better coaching at schools from the MAC or whatever, than they did in HS.  Now, the bigger colleges see them play and they opportunities in the Big10.  If they get a 5th year automatically instead of having to jump through hoops to get it, it could increase the overall talent the draft pool.

In a way, it could reduce the importance on the top picks.

I agree, seems like it is going to have a negative impact on the bottom tier NFL teams.  Guys will either finish school or refuse to play for certain teams.

Overall it is great for the players though.  Gives guys in college that might not last in the NFL an opportunity to earn life changing money while in college.  Probably also see more of the mid tier guys get their degrees too if they can play football and get $100k or whatever.

The NY Football Giants will give him $160m.

[Tree of Knowledge 1,712]

Ewers is a great example. He better stay in college longer than Van Wilder.

Maybe the Iggles will give a coach 160 million so they can stop sucking. 

Did they really lose a 28 to 14 lead to the redskins?
