What makes it seem plausible to me is that taking a cut of an NIL deal would be chump change for Rosenhaus. The bigger deal would be a cut of the NFL contracts. So maybe you’re right
Not speaking for anyone in the know, but I believe they've said before that they don't really want to publicize the amounts paid because it just would cause teams to know the kind of money we have.
True but they’re only so many spots. Guys have to be aware of that too. At the end of the day these guys do want to play, and not make money sitting behind someone.
Doesn’t this shiit Just cause toxicity in the locker room? Player x gets 100k from the collective and player Y gets 25k and ends up outplaying player x. It’s just becoming a light version of the nfl
And of course I would like the nil if we were able to write checks like Georgia.
Most schools don’t though and anyone with a brain can understand where all this is heading if some governance isnt put in place.
There will be a clearly defined tier 1 group and the rest just deal with it.

If you’re a high performing employee, you get more money at your job. If you’re a great NFL player at your position on your team, you’ll get more money than your back up. No locker room problems because that’s how the world works
I think it's probably best to assume we are at the bottom of what most schools could supply.
This is true. But let's say you go out and get the best OL man that money can buy. And then they get injured 3 games in. Or they suck and get benched. I find it hard to believe there would be no hard feelings.
The important piece is the "salary cap" that prevents an ever escalating arms race for cash. In return for this, players are going to want guarantees. Probably two year deals so everyone can plan but a player still has an opportunity to make one move for $$ if they develop a ton. I said in another thread there may be a cap number each school is allowed to distribute, but potentially also a limit on the number of players who can receive pay above and beyond the value of the scholarship, which enables top players to earn a greater percentage of the agreed upon cap money and also keeps schools from hoarding bench talent.
Keep in mind that if a football cap number is just $6-$8 million per team, and there's 70 teams in the P4 participating, you are approaching half a billion annually that would be transferred out of athletic department budgets and directly into players hands. This will greatly impact the finances of most athletics departments and will have negative repercussions to the amount and quality of Olympic sports they make available.

Agreed a salary cap would be great. On the plus side, people aren’t throwing around stupid amounts of money for a single player like they used to. Collectives have gotten smarter and spread out the cash
Scholarships are on a year to year basis. So essentially 1 year contracts. Agents in these situations reaching out to collectives is essentially the same as putting out feelers for upcoming free agents. I don't like it, but it's not going to change.
