Older article from April and when doing a search seems that not a lot of talk about what deals college players are negotiating with new rules change. Wonder if college football announcers will discuss what players are making.
8 million deal for high school junior seems pretty high!


"A promising college football recruit could be paid up to $US8 million for three years in school, in a sign of the sport entering a new era it has long needed.

The Athletic reports a five-star recruit in the class of 2023 - a high school junior, or what we’d call a Year 11 student - has signed an agreement that will see him paid $US350,000 immediately, with monthly payments that rise to more than $US2 million a year."

Moderators: If this needs to be moved to sports please do so.

I've seen several articles on NIL deals for high school kids. It has been reported that Arch Manning signed a $5M deal to play for Texas. Not to bad for a kid who is still playing high school ball this year.

I don't give a crap how much they pay them. People can stay home and watch these spoiled democrats all they want. I will be on the lake fishing!!

I can't imagine having that much pocket change as a high schooler! Making more than all the teachers/coaches and principals!

paying kids that kind of money and the hard working men and women of the world trying to feed families just getting by

Sounds like if they managed their money right they could just retire after they graduated college.

If you had a base investment of $5 million you could live off of a 5% rate of return pretty well.

Never agreed with ANY of this ... talk about tearing a team down... got yourself a big money player in a leading roll while the grunts (offensive linemen/defensive linemen) work their tails off to make him shine. Sure pay 'em ... $$ goes to a fund that is divided at the end of each season among ALL the senior players that are graduating. Then... build the pot, and share the love the next year with that group of graduating seniors... Build a team.. not an individual.

I thought they used to pay them with scholarships.

It doesn’t matter I doubt I’ll watch any of them unless forced too

Saban said this would happen but everyone accused him of being a whiner. Huh

The market supports it, apparently.

They did. Tuition, room, and board is $20k where I live. Total. For the whole academic year.

The schools are making BBBillions. Obviously 1/3 of a new truck isn’t fair market value for these guys.

I can see some missed blocks on occasion for reality checks


Like most
Things that s me like a good idea at the time, this could fail

They lost me with the BLM protest, individuals protesting elsewhere is one thing, protesting as a team is another

Yep, except I'll be shooting critters in the hardwoods.
If you don't want your money going to institutions that hate you... get outdoors instead.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ completely agree 100% all day every day. Stop supporting the enemy. More to life than a child’s game, played by Thugs.

18 year old kid opens a successful company, makes millions. No different in my opinion. The top 1% in any field will make money.

You sir are correct
