Shooter: Perich’s $250,000 name, image and likeness (NIL) deal this season should at least double for the Gophers football star’s sophomore season.

I hope not.

I want them to pay the Road Graders, they make the team go.

I'm saying that scholarship swimmers would be entitled to the dividend as the road graders (football players).

If the non-revenue sport playing scholarship athletes receive an equal dividend to the football players and men's basketball players, the good teams are simply going to eliminate as many non-revenue scholarships as Title IX will allow.

Charge the NIL the scholarship money and give it to Engineering students. We will be needing more engineers than we need football players.

remember - assuming the House settlement goes through, schools will be paying direct revenue-sharing to athletes next year.

so, let's say Perich gets $100-grand in revenue sharing (wild guess - could be more). that means Dinkytown Athletes only needs to come up with $400-grand in NIL to make that half-a-million total.
in reality, there will still likely be an arms race in NIL for the top players. but for a guy who is a decent starter - but not an all-world player - they can get some money in revenue sharing and in theory, that makes them less likely to jump to another school in search of more NIL.

on the revenue sharing, MN will be able to pay out up to (I believe) $22-million a year. the big question is how is that divided? if the bulk of the money goes to the revenue-producing sports (football and men's basketball), then let's say the football team gets to divide up $10-million. that's $95-thousand each if shared equally with 105 players. or, if not shared equally, several hundred thousand for the top players, and less for the end-of-the bench guys.

The settlement has already been finalized. He’s set to receive over $250K from the school, and Drake Lindsey is also getting $250K. Brown and Bryan will receive over $100K each. Essentially, if you started or played a key role on this year's team, you're getting six figures. For the backups and players who mainly contribute on special teams, the range is about $50-70K. Redshirt freshmen who didn’t see any action will receive $30K.

My question is, where can I find what KP is actually getting paid for use of his NAME/IMAGE/LIKENESS?

Probably nowhere, just like it is for everyone else. He and his agents know. His tax guy knows and the IRS will know what those people tell them. Who else has a right to know?

This seems like big news. I’m not saying you’re wrong but what is your source for this? ^

Have to think throwing out big compensation numbers will precipitate some wandering eyes among the other players unless the DTA fund is much larger than I imagined (it could well be). The funds funneled through the schools will be public record, at last.

Depending on how this all plays out, the university is a public university so right to know is potentially pretty much everyone. As it should be for a public institution.

As to money from the school directly? Yes, that might be disclosed. But the question wasn't related to that, it was about NIL. Regarding how much he makes from signing posters at the opening of a new sporting goods store in Esko? Why should he have to disclose that to the public?

Dinkytown Athletes has slowly but surely become closer and closer tied to the U. I think it is likely over time these separations become all but irrelevant and we're back at the same place.

Same goes for other schools NIL groups.

Sure, the rules (or guidelines or laws) could change over time and then who knows what will happen. If the players become actual employees of the University, then I'd guess the same disclosure requirements will apply to them as other University employees with outside income. The original question that I was responding to was where the OP could find out how much Perich is making in NIL. I stand by my response that there is nowhere to find that information (right now) and there is no reason (now) for there to be.

Let’s just say I have a very reliable inside source. Unless the kid publicly speaks out, the chances of hearing this elsewhere are pretty slim. But I can assure you, those numbers are legit.
