Agree (but without the sarcasm and wish Perich had stayed) and I'm not going to dis Perich. None of us are Koi Perich and the decision is all his. We don't know the exact calculus that went into his decision and we have to leave it there. It's his future and in the current college football environment he has a wider range of opportunities to promote himself (both monetarily and otherwise) than players did a short time ago.

My non-Perich angle on this is that college football is dying faster than I thought it would. The pace of change has been dramatic and I wonder what the landscape will look like in five years.

Dying.... seriously?
What is happenging at Indiana (yes, that Indiana) is the most incredible thing CFB has ever seen. The Ol' Miss vs Georgia game was incredible. if you think CFB is dying, you are not paying attention.

GM's and coaches are working directly with NIL collectives to match up Rev Share and NIL packages.
Using the number I heard for MN of RevShare $75,000 for each freshmen. Times how many are coming in (31). ($2,325,000). That leaves $15M-ish for rest of roster, about 74 players. That's about $200,000 per player if equal.

Example
Freshmen get $75,000 (31) = 2,325,000
Sophomores at $85,000 (30)= 2,550,000
Juniors at 200,000 (25)= 5,000,000
Seniors 20 at 260,000= 5,200,000

That's $15,075,000 in RevShare Alone. Now we know that all upperclassmen are not making the same base salary or NIL>

Doesn't the football program only get about 15 million of the 20? I thought I heard most B1G and SEC schools are doing 75% to football and 25% to men's and women's basketball combined.

This. The traditional blue bloods no longer automatically have the advantage.

I don't blame him for wondering "what if" after 2 years. 2 years he could have been part of a Natty and in CFP every year at OSU. Instead he's away from home during Christmas, playing at some 3rd tier bowl game (again) that nobody cares about outside of MN or NM.

The flip side to that is he could also have spent those two years riding the bench or getting minimal playing time stuck behind high end talent.

In the end maybe he gets the best of both worlds. Came here, got to play right away and be a featured player and now transfers to a school in the CFP hunt on a yearly basis where he can be a contributor.

Or maybe he decides the grass isn't greener and comes back.

And that right there is the angle that every fan ever has hoped for. Maybe not in this exact fashion (granted this is probably how most Bluebloods got where they are in the first place. Now everyone is openly doing it) but every fan wants their team to be at the top. To be able to pull that off at Indiana or Ole Miss is Nirvana. To be in a world to be able to say we don't care that you are Ohio State or Georgia. We're going to beat you and actually do it is great. The money is definitely affecting aspects of the game and how some fans view the game but it is also a way to turn your team into a Blueblood tomorrow.

Amateur college football is dead. Professional college football is alive and thriving.

I don't think any student would even notice, honestly. He was in the NFL before any of these college kids were even born.

I doubt even AWJr would get more than a "oh, hey, what's up" kinda response if he walked back on campus.

I wasn't thinking about attention from other students. Just the recognition and the respect/admiration when he walks into the practice facility, team meetings, coaches meetings, booster meetings, etc.

If Koi goes to Miami, he could be an All-American, but he will never be Sean Taylor or Ed Reed. He will be known as just another All-American. Again, that isn't a bad thing. Miami can offer things the U can't offer - a legit CFP shot, access to alumni who are many times HOF, etc.

This is the sale pitch Fleck needs to use to get him to stay. Don't be afraid to be a Legend
Sure, he can shop around and take the money elsewhere, but he's going to be "just another guy" at tOSU, Miami or Texas Tech and have to work his tail end off just to earn a starting role among the other 5*** players (not a guarantee). If he declares he is staying, his starting spot is guaranteed, and people will be happy and ready to welcome him back (except for those who already burned their jerseys). Only at the UMN does everyone know who he is and has an opportunity to be a life-long Legend (which money cannot buy). Only at UMN does he have a guaranteed starting spot and showcase for NFL scouts. at tOSU, he will be one of many talented safeties. He'll be that white kid from small town Northern MN (always asked how cold is it there?) and risk no chance to make the NFL if he isn't a standout on the grand stage.

Good Luck PJ

I agree. It has to be hard when your two final college decisions are Ohio State and Minnesota. You choose Minnesota and your sophomore year you play in Columbus and get ran out of the stadium. Outside of the first 3-4 minutes we weren't even playing the same game as the Buckeyes. It has to make you wonder "What would it be like here?"

Agree 110% with your second paragraph. What happens if he transfers to Ohio State and doesn't get full-time playing time? I don't even know if this is a preposterous statement, but it might be easier for him to get to the NFL through Minnesota than Ohio State... at the very least you'll get more opportunities to showcase your skillset.

The gophers led the buckeyes with less than a minute to go in the first quarter.

Agree with this. Playing like he did at time for MN this year at Ohio state would lead to a benching and with a 4 or 5 star behind you they may take the job and never give you another shot.
 

Here’s my take on the figures. To me, if they were as high as speculated the “agents” would boast about them to try to get more clients/show their worth (see Boras, Scott). Since there aren’t any of these (from what I’ve seen), the figures are likely smaller but it’s in the agents’ best interest to let the higher numbers fly.

Could be lots of reasons. I don't know what my coworkers are making. If I found out, maybe there's a chance I'd get pissed and leave?

Or maybe DTA doesn't want to publish what they spend, so as to not turn away the little donations. Right now there might be a bunch of people happy to donate $100/year or something. If they see how much money is actually being paid out, maybe they think their small donation doesn't have an impact and so it goes away?

Maybe you don't want to turn people off before you meet them? What if that WR from Auburn looked at DTA's books and thought, "no way they can afford me", but since he was in the dark, he came here and got an offer.

Also, if other teams know how much our players are getting then they know the price point to lure them away

And? Why should I care for a team when you have zero clue who will be on the team next year?

At least in the NFL we know who the FAs are and the contracts.

Watching teams/players grow over time was what made college football special to me.

But anyways back to Koi and the money he is going to make when he transfers...

The Gophers are returning pretty much their entire core outside of Perich. Most of those guys will have been here 3+ years next year.

The conversation was about if college football was dying. More teams can now compete at a high level than before. Ratings for bowl games were higher than they've been in awhile.

It's a bit too much "Wild, wild west" for me but the sport is hardly dying.

I was talking more about the superstructure. The games are still very good to great and Indiana is a great story, but what we are now seeing is basically professional football. It's no longer a college game.

As a little kid, my ultimate dream was to play for the home state U in front of family and friends. Football, hoops, baseball, ping pong...the sport really wouldn't have mattered if it was a chance to wear the Maroon & Gold.

Now, if Notre Dame would've come calling and offered five (5) year old me a million dollars in Topp's baseball cards along with a free education, I probably would've taken my ping pong talents to South Bend.

I don't blame Koi for chasing the cash, but he darn sure can't hold me in contempt as a Gopher fan for criticizing his choices and/or level of play as a paid athletic mercenary.

Man, my memory is slipping. I thought we went down right away with a nice drive and then the wheels fell off. Doesn't help I was finishing a golf tournament and in the clubhouse drinking during the game.

Absolutely agree for D1. It’s professional. The awareness of true amateur football in D3/D2 is growing due to easy streaming and with the playoffs on ESPN, although the portal/NIL still makes it tough for the lower levels to keep young All American-level talent.

What's actually dying is the "romanticism" of the student-athlete commitment and amateurism as a whole. There's simply too much fan interest and money to be made in college football to ever fade away.

I realize we are well beyond the point of no return, but I can't help but wonder if still having to sit out a year to transfer would at least restore some stability in college athletics regardless of how much we're paying kids to skip classes and play sports.

Oh, my bad. That makes a lot more sense, kinda like Cashman being at a spring practice last year.

Exactly what I was trying to say. The game is making scads of money, the players are getting paid (handsomely in some cases), the quality of play at the upper levels is very good. It's just that the environment and bounds of competition have changed dramatically. And it won't be going backwards.

The athletic just did a story on this here is the info

How much do college football transfers earn in the NIL and revenue-sharing era? - The Athletic

“To get an idea of what this year’s portal market looks like, The Athletic surveyed industry experts, including general managers, personnel staffers and agents, on the ranges of compensation that transfers receive. All subjects were granted anonymity for their candor.”

Here is the headline:

  • QB range: $1 million to $4 million, but potentially higher for the top players
    • his portal cycle, it appears prices are going up. The floor for a Power 4 starter, in most cases, is $1 million. “If you don’t spend a million, you ain’t getting ’em,” one Power 4 GM said.
  • OT range: $600,000 to $1.3 million
  • Edge rushers: $500,000 to $2 million
  • Interior DL: $500,000 to $1.5 million
  • RB range: $400,000 to $900,000
  • WR range: $500,000 to $1 million
  • TE range: $300,000 to $900,000
  • Cornerbacks: $250,000 to $1 million
  • Safeties: $250,000 to $900,000
  • Linebackers: $200,000 to $750,000
  • Interior OL: $200,000 to $700,000


“While Power 4 programs’ football roster budgets can range from $13 million up to $30 million, G5 schools mostly ranged between $1 million and $10 million in 2025.“


A lot more detail in there for each category. Interesting safeties are towards the bottom.
