💰 Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) Discussion

Ah, the old “how much is it worth to you to abstain for a whole year” question. About 1-1.5 mn apparently. Shouts to Brandon Davies! :joy:

(Just kidding … kinda)

I don’t know why, but I find the fact that BYU is now among the NIL kings hilarious

It’s all so random. It’s basically a contest to see who has a billionaire donor who really likes college sports.

The Twitter comments about your tithe money at work are savage!

Heh. More like, thanks for completing that random questionnaire at work (Qualtrics), you have indirectly subsidized AJ Dybantsa’s salary.

Shouts to Brandon Davies is by far my favorite bit from Eye on College Basketball podcast

BYU being top end in NIL was one of the most predictable outcomes of the NIL era

I’m well aware his sons are tall. It could be my memory fading me but thought you were taller when I think how both of y’all compare to a Dragon.

I probably should drink less when around both of you

@DFresh11 , You look like Louis from the Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places. Louis ( Dan Akroyd) and Billy Ray ( Eddie Murphy) corner the market on oranges and get rich. Funny ass movie with Jaimie Lee Curtis also

Interesting article on Pitt football’s revised approach to NIL:

Very interesting. Though these kinda quotes always bother me when it comes from the head coach:

“I sat down with (some of the) guys and told them, ‘You’re not getting paid,’” Narduzzi said. “I told them that the guy investing in you isn’t happy. I said, ‘If you were an investor putting your money down and you win three games, what would you do?’ Kids said, ‘Coach, I wouldn’t give it.’ That’s what he’s doing. You’ve got to go earn it.”

The Duzz ain’t volunteering for a pay cut himself, so I guess the investors are unhappy with the players but not the coach?

I never realized that the names, images, and likenesses of college athletes were so valuable.
