***Official portal tracker thread***

Umm, we are professionals, we can freak out now and still have plenty of freak left for once the portal is set.

Not to mention the freakness we will bring when we are down 2 scores in the first game.

No the freak out is giving up a first down.

Stating the season as over is what happens if ISU is behind.

What I saw in a cursory search was $15-24M this year (and Beck getting $3.1-4M of it).

No clue if that’s true, but it seems consistent with rumors about other players. It seems that P4 QB NIL is trending towards being on par with NFL QB deals as a percentage of payroll.

Their NIL rivals Oregon. Pretty much spend whatever.

Yeah, but if the numbers are real it is still a hefty chunk allocated to QB1.

But yeah, in the best case with those numbers they’d still have $20.9M to spend on the rest of the roster *this* year when average payrolls are presumably much lower than $20.5M.
 
Not sure but if a ad gave everything to one sport they are going to have some pissed off coaches
Trust me, Olympic sport HCs are used to barely being acknowledged at some schools.

What I think Pollard said was the $1000 per was to guarantee ISU is compliant by paying for NIL rights. It wasn’t clear if that was his call or a prescribed minimum.

My guess is the former. Personally I like the JP is committed to maintaining a top-to-bottom solid athletic department that is competitive in the Director’s Cup.
 
Yes. But an AD could give it all to FB if they wanted And piss off everyone else in your athletic department.
So there is not yet a prescribed minimum to ensure an athlete is compensated for signing over NIL rights?

Am I right that Pollard is paying $1k minimum?
 
So is there a list of who is actually very much potentially coming to ISU?

That would be better than 'Some kid who no one's heard of is maybe checking out ISU'.

Yes everyone gets $1000 minimum and they should.

The $300K allocated to non-FB, MBB, WBB, and wrestling isn't going to significantly impact the the 4 sports I referenced.
