Sorry I'm sure this has been covered before but I've never understood the 30m psu gets for their football roster? I thought the 20m Rev sharing was standard and has to be split in all sports?

Jamies interview made it sound like anything beyond Rev sharing is business dealings, and not like a sukup or similar could just add another 10m annually to football. This whole thing is just so confusing to me.

Assume that PSU is going to spend ~$15MM on FB from rev share. They then have $15MM lined in NIL deals. They can afford staff to do the latter, when most programs are struggling to fund the rev share.

"NIL Deals"

Two things can be true here.

1) Athletes are getting paid in an unrestricted, open market for their talent.
2) It’s not sustainable for 90% of the FBS teams. Kinda sucks.

What ends up happening in the end is unknown, but ISU is unlikely to be part of the conversation.

There will be lots of donor fatigue soon. Even schools like Alabama and Georgia might say “enough.” Big donors are paying millions with no equity stake, every year that money is gone to expensive coaches and players.

Every athlete gets $1,000 so I would bet that if you add up the $1,000 for softball, volleyball, golf, ect thats where that other $2-3M is going.

No - approx. $300K is going to sports other than FB, MBB, WBB and wrestling

I’ve been hearing people say there will be donor fatigue at the big schools ever since NIL became a thing, yet it seems like these schools keep finding more and more money.

I think this is right. The kind of people who become billionaires are generally not the kind of people that put millions into things with guaranteed zero ROI. Sure, there are the crossover billionaires who are also rabid sports fans (like the TTU guy). But I suspect there aren't enough of them out there to keep doing this.

When the ASU coach says "there has to be someone in Phoenix who can stroke a $20M check today." That's only for one year! Next year the roster turns over and you have to find another $20M.

I don't think its sustainable.

Looks like only two rbs left on the roster, officially. What’s the word on Peppers? Was hearing good things about him before getting injured.

I was wondering this too as well as Cooper Alexander, David Coffey, BJ Carter, and LaMarcus Hick II. Is no news good news?

 

[NoCreativity]

So this guy from UNI isn't even starter level at a Big 12 school and he has 3 different agents? Laughable.

Are we picking and choosing what we believe what MC says?

I had the same thought...but I suppose for some of the mega donors, this is their version of "fantasy football"

These same people have been doing it for decades. It's just out in the open now.

But decades ago when they paid a guy he stayed there and played.

Moore, Rutledge, Jensen, Stecker, too.

Carter is in the portal.

It’s the same amount annually whether the guy stays or they pay a different guy transferring in.

My person opinion is that this won't change until it happens to a big school or one with a big enough donor.

Everyone sees what happened to us and thinks "Man, that stinks for ISU. Someone should fix the system!" but nothing happens.

Something stupid will happen. A star player at one of the big schools will bolt for more money to a rival at an inopportune moment, it will affect the people at the top, and some change will happen. Until then, it will remain the wild west.

It’s because we are currently using our reserves to hit max rev share. If sukup gave $10M, it would go toward rev share and not nil.

Feels like a CYA coach speak answer to explain why we played like crap that day.

I'm excited to have Raynor fwiw
