If we have $5 million for the entire team, I would be good with giving $4 million of that to a star QB.
Let's be accurate - the number is $5M over 3-4 years. Less than $2M a year. I'd say it's money well spent for the top QB prospect in the nation.
The thing is, we don't (currently) need a $5M guy. We need someone of Bryant or Ramsey caliber.
Admissions notwithstanding, our QB squad is bottom quartile in FBS. We just need to be around "average"
We should have $20M for the entire athletics program after the distribution is turned over to the schools. Got to figure 80%+ will go to Football and Men’s basketball. We can spend $1M for a good QB if we want to. We aren’t competing for the Bryce Underwood’s of the world.
Spending the most money doesn’t guarantee success. However, Spending way below peers almost guarantees failure. We should be able to pay Very good players and NIL shouldn’t be used as an excuse for our talent or recruiting.
Congratulations to those of you who promoted and steadfastly stood behind this new revenue sharing plan, especially for not framing it with any type of guardrails, limits to cheating, or any other realistic limits. You are getting what you asked for.
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
As long as the player gets paid more than the Provost, I’m happy!
Pretty happy, yeah. The worst part currently is the free for all in transfer rules. I’m hopeful that bringing the revenue sharing in-house is going to help with that by allowing schools and guys to sign contracts with guaranteed lengths to them, ie, here’s a three year deal for you, during which you cannot transfer.
You think you need to do the math again.
I hope he gets $10M. I love watching rich people do stupid things.
Not once the Title IX lawyers have their say. I figure 50% will be earmarked for the women's teams.
You doubt the power of Title IX? We're talking about the money ($20 million) actually paid by the schools, not NIL payments from third parties.
Absolutely. Title XI will never impact revenue sharing. If it did the revenue will slow to a crawl and not grow.
We're talking about $20 million. NU's annual athletics revenue already well exceeds this, I'm confident to say.
You think the lawyers care? If schools themselves try to pay more to the men than the women, it's going to end up in court.
