NIL $ Ranked by Team

Just so y’all know how much NIL $ Clemson players are getting compared to other teams.
Check out the attached.
I am not a fan of NIL in its present condition… it needs to be regulated or recruiting will turn into simply a bidding war. Even the NFL has salary caps and free agency rules. College football has no rules anymore… that’s why I no longer keep up with Clemson’s recruiting (or anyone else’s for that matter).

Current format of College Football is not sustainable.

No doubt, big changes coming up.

Gotta to NFL model with governance body at the top, rules and parameters. Parity will lead to better product on the field and more TV revenue which, unfortunately, is the glue that holds the business model together.

Hopefully something will be done sooner rather than later. My guess is nothing will be done until the whole landscape of college football changes to a different format. Only then will actual enforceable rules be put in place.

But we still can’t afford a $10 million dollar quarterback. Salary caps have to be put in place to keep it fair. Most teams still won’t be able to compete, but it won’t give the Texas teams free reign to buy anyone they want.

Not sure if you read my example of Home Depot paying Kirk Cousins? They certainly can, and maybe they do, but it has no influence on Kirk or any other player “transferring” to the Falcons because there are other totally legal ways of keeping players within their contract.
So, NIL CAN be regulated by implementing NFL rules. Not directly regulated, but it would no longer be a recruiting tool because recruiting wouldn’t exist.

So what you're saying is NCAA needs an anti-trust exemption.

Congress can and probably should pass a law that says something like

"Governing bodies for amateur athletics may set conditions for participation eligibility and to define amateur status for the governed sports. Voluntary participants in amateur athletics shall not be considered employees, and anti-trust and labor laws shall not apply."

the NCAA should be able to impose rules that must be followed in order to participate in NCAA sports.

But, the NCAA was correct in knowing for all those years that if you can pay an athlete at all for anything, then it results in them being paid to play. The only distinction is the accounting.

It is a salary. It’s an endorsement deal. Congress and the Senate are already looking at legislation which would make the 9th circuit court of California’s rulings moot. Judges cannot legislate from the bench. They only interpret. Her interpretation is bad.

Endorsers are not employees of the companies or NIL collectives fur which they advertise goods or services.

They are independent contractors.

The 9th circuit has nothing to do with it.
The Supreme Court and numerous other federal district courts do.

Congressional legislation? It failed in committee this year.

The next Congress is going to have much more important things in their plate than getting the NCAA an antitrust exemption. Even if they get it, it won't affect private NIL at all, because the NCAA can't legally interfere with business deals between two third parties.

See the huge numbers of pro athletes that make big NIL dollars from endorsement deals that the pro leagues can't regulate for the evidence.

You are probably right that NIL can’t be regulated directly, just like there’s nothing to prevent Home Depot from giving Kirk Cousins a commercial deal. BUT, Home Depot has no influence on the Falcons ability to sign players or lure them from another team.

The Sherman Antitrust Act has been around since 1890.

The odd thing on that list is seeing Texas A&M only paying out 9.3m. I thought they were in the top 3

Doesn't information like these rankings show where we will likely end up in the long run. If we are 18th in available funds to purchase/keep players, we will have a roster that is 18th best in college football. Coaching can push up/down a couple places but I wouldn't think too much. Also, if you look at our current CFP ranking, we are where we should be? I really don't enjoy typing that last sentence.

Go Tigers! Win Out!

Wow! Thanks for posting that. Texas has $8.1 million more than Clemson. That could be used to give 5 players $1.6 million each more than Clemson has. Or 6 players $1.35 million. Or you could divide it up amongst 85 players and give them all $95,000 each. Get creative an decide how it could be spent to retain the players you really need to keep for starters and back-ups. We lose about 11 players per year to NIL. And we all know Coach Dabo isn't going use much NIL money to get freshmen recruits. Or spend hardly any money at all to get transfers from other teams. So, could you imagine if he used that extra $8.1 mil to keep the good players that are starters and the players that are in line to be starters a year or two down the road and are 2nd or third string now? Then we would have those 3 or 4 starting players that we are missing every year. And 3 or 4 back-ups that we need every year. I know all 11 or 12 transfers are not going to stay. You can't keep every body. But if we could just keep a few more pieces to the puzzle on the team. We would be two deep or too deep again. Those rich teams have such an advantage.
