Dennis Evans - Is it time to recommit?

1 mill? I'd tell him to take the money too even if I was his coach LMAO.

maybe not to some programs. for me, NIL seems to be getting a bit out of control. word is Iowa is offering wrestler Bernie Truax a $250K NIL deal - a wrestler!

the money probably means more to a wrestler since very few wrestlers get a full ride. but $250k!?

There is no doubt money is getting tossed around but I would be careful putting a lot of stock in the reported totals that get floated because my guess is there is a lot of misinformation and what not out there. Some of these reported big deals might be over multiple years or include all kinds of stipulations. Tough to know what is real and what isn't.

its about as much detail as I've seen on a nil deal yet. that said, haven't seen an actual nil contract posted for any deal yet

this is a popular story across several wrestling fan boards, so I wonder if it effects wrestlers like Minnesota's Aaron Nagao. Nagao recently entered the transfer portal. He will be a top wrestler at 133 lbs next season. If you're a program like PSU or Iowa he's the type of wrestler that could go a long way to getting a NCAA championship

going to bball, if stories like Evans getting #1M are floating around i do wonder if these stories are already setting expectations for top recruits and players. we're probably at the beginning of programs targeting players and recruits and having bagmen approach them floating big nil deals (for a specific school) to get them to enter the portal of ask for a release (as evans did)

Pay for Play has been happening in basketball forever, they just don't have to hide it anymore since now they can call it something different and pretend it is not what it really is.

I hope they figure out a way to stop teams poaching guys off other rosters by offering big pay for play deals but I don't have much faith in them actually doing it.

Charley Walters: Way too early to judge Vikings’ pick of Jordan Addison

Despite the hype that’s spewed out on draft day about how great the players are, the NFL draft remains a crapshoot.

On3's numbers come from an algorithm; $59,000 is not the money he is actually making.

From On3's website:

"The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career. The On3 NIL Valuation calculates the optimized NIL opportunity for athletes relative to the overall NIL market and projects out to as long as 12 months into the future.

The On3 NIL Valuation accounts for an athlete’s roster value and brand value. Roster value is the value an athlete has by being a member of his or her team at his or her school, which factors into the role of NIL collectives. Brand value factors in an athlete’s personal brand and the value it could bring to regional and national brands outside of the scope of NIL collectives.

The On3 NIL Valuation is publicly available. Performance, Influence, and Exposure ratings along with the athlete’s personal Brand Value Index and Roster Value Index are available only to the athlete in the “Athlete Verified” private dashboard on the On3 Athlete Network."

The on3 craze is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen but media outlets continue to run it like it’s what the players are actually making.
