This is whole nil is so crazy, man. 17 year old kids signing million dollar deals before even playing a snap of college ball.
I guess in this nuts economy might as well grab what you can get and what's available and then some.
If boosters or companies want to spend "supporting" the next xxx high school star to potentially flameout ... I guess it is what it is.
Remember Craig Chambers?

There's always a break in period for something new. The usual suspect winners are first th throw money at everyone. It will settle down
Once you get past the 5 star must have guys you pay for upfront it has always been smarter to pay off performance in college
Under the table or over.
Billy got his Camaro and loan once he was the starter. Summer jobs programs are for current players

It is nuts. The Ohio State QB that got 1.4 mil might sit on the bench for a few years. Ohio State is starting a freshman that was the #2 QB of his class the year before.
Granted Ewers is from Texas, and an elite QB with a mullet that started for the biggest program in the state is valuable, but still.

I don’t think UW players will reap the benefits of NIL. A superstar QB would. Amazon and Microsoft could easily put a couple mil aside for UW players but they won’t.
Local businesses will use a player from the Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, and Sounders before using a UW player. A random player on the Seahawks like Freddie Swain has more name value than any UW player.

So there’s more business people in Columbus? State College?
I don't think this is the natural order. It's something that was created by 30 years of fuckery at UW. I think that, had UW and local media made any effort at all, star Huskies would have just as much local celebrity as Mariner or Seahawk players.
Tui would have been as recognizable around town as Junior, Edgar, or Arod if he had been promoted like them. That's what I'm postulating. Maybe I'm full of shit but I don't think so. The "fans" gobble up whomever the media serves them.
The Hawks making the super bowl in 05 while UW was head on to owen12 turned the tide

So we're believing that businesses are paying players out of a legitimate desire for their endorsement services?
That's cute.
The reason Microsoft or Amazon won't pay a UW player for NIL is the same reason they wouldn't pay for the #1 recruit in a midwest college town: they DGAF. You know who does? Rich college football fans who want to feel like they're part of the team and important. In the past, they'd give PSAs cars, family apartments, trips, cash, whatever under the table in an effort to attract them to their school. The only difference now is they can brag about it on Twitter and write it off at tax time.
Those OSU guysm didn't get free cars because it's great advertising, they got free cars because getting players like that to come to the local school helps the local school win. Those quarterbacks didn't get over a million dollars because local business owners need influencers; they got over a million because the people who paid them think watching their team win is worth it.
Think of it more like Detlef's $500K donation, only paid directly to the players, than some kind of legitimate business transaction.
You don't need Seattle big business to step up for the same reason tOSU doesn't. You just need a dozen rabid Husky fans with a million extra dollars per year in the bank to be vain and crazy enough to decide the most satisfying use of that exccess would be to personally big-dick the states of Alabama, Ohio, and South Carolina by buying a winner.
It does have some to do with that. Players at college football factories with nothing else going don’t have to share attention. They are the big ticket in town.
All good stuff EXCEPT your second paragraph. AL and tOSU’s qb’s received these contracts through legit regional/national brands. I don’t think those fuckers are tied to any one school because it’s decision by committee. Those fucks are hoping that the kids have an amazing college career and just maybe they amount to shit in the NFL and then they really have something at that point to push their brand.
Gtsm, cash app, leaf, etc.
If I had time to create a business plan I would honestly start a marketing company That acted as an agency to broker these deals. Early entry in this is still available. Any of you fucks want to start a business?
I mean, come on - read this shit. 3rd paragraph.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cb...-in-nil-marketing-agreements-per-reports/amp/
You know damn well these agents will rep these kids. These agents will funnel these players through whatever they need to ensure they go pro. Sounds like the gold rush where any body can get a piece.

The problem with real companies is they actually expect a return on their investment.
