NY times talks NIL cost by position
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is
-
They should also list special teams that cover punts and kickoffs ***

They need to add "for coveted transfers". That isn't the avg when almost all of CFB sucks

I don't understand. The Times published research data that covers a broad range of NIL cost, what are you inferring? And what part sucks the the most, is it us not being any good that diminishes your joy or is there another factor? I'm intrigued to see your point of view here.

There are 136 FBS schools and a majority don't spend much at all. There's over 200 QBs in the portal ( https://247sports.com/college/transf...positionkey=57 ).
The avg for them will not be 1-4 MM. Just common sense

Just because Boise and UNLV arent in a P4 doesnt mean they dont spend. You're bottom 50 dont spend a great deal but hell- even 1-AA schools do NIL now.

I definitely watch the game differently than most, I've officiated it, I still do study the game and interact with those that coach it and officiate it, so the way I watch it is definitely not the way most do.

Now do all positions on that list for 138 teams. The list is a great guess for what P4 teams are doing in the portal, but that's nowhere close to the total avg

If you get paid NIL money, then you should not be receiving scholarship.

Keyshawn Murphy got $2MM. Basketball is ridiculous. He is playing 23 mins and going for 10/5.5

It's not the same here at all, not the point. This isn't a marketplace with rules like the nfl or nb, this is the wild west, common sense has nothing to do with it. I'm done here. Have a nice day.

I would say we are definitely on the lower end of those ranges. And guess what.... there's 40 (prob more) programs out there that will kill for that level of coin. Bc of this, it's absurd to think those avgs are for all the players in the portals. It's the good players, and by good players, I mean those that are pursued by p4 and upper G5 programs (very few).
