NIL

This got off topic in a different thread so I wanted to address separately.

Full Disclosure: I donate to NIL for football and wrestling.

NIL is an agreement not a contract. If any school, collective or AD suggest a contract, that would make players 1099 employees, which would trigger unions and profit sharing. All NIL Agreements are structured the same way to avoid this. No One varies from this!

NIL is not pay for play but it can be ridiculous easy compensation. Like $100k for billboards, $50k for visiting my car dealership, $200k for shooting commercials. But social media is the big dog by far.

NIL is broken down monthly. Monthly payments keep the collective from getting ripped off in the case of transfer.

If a player opts out of the bowl, their season is ended and so is their NIL payments.

Someone commented that scholarships are the players payment. Not true. Scholarships were started by Notre Dame to attract the best players (who were 25 year old men btw) without financial burden. Then other schools caught on. Until recently, scholarships were year to year and could be cutoff or reduced at anytime by the athletic department. D1 football players earn that shite with everything they do year round.

Alot of the NIL stuff we see is misinformation. Because of privacy, we never see the agreement so alot of stuff is simply made up. Corporate NIL can be lucrative, like KFC and Shadeur Sanders or Dr Pepper and Ewers, but they are few and far between. But ask me any questions and I will try to answer. Merry Christmas, MIZ.
