FC: Allar’s NIL earnings this year…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Great for Drew! Now go get us over the hump.
I'm anticipating NFL players wanting to come back to college to use up eligibility and make more money. Wait for it...
Now maybe he can throw a touchdown against osu.
Good for him.
check 2025 rookie contracts, I see him top 5 next April.

I don't think that's a surprise. I've seen this widely reported for months.
The chances that any of these folks actually know the accurate, verifiable total compensation being realized by these sub-NFL pro football players? The chances of that being true are 0.0%
So, where do most of these numbers come from? Shouldn't be too hard to work that out.
These deals are supposed to be reported to the NCAA - doesn’t seem too difficult to imagine a clever journalist finding ways to get that information. So, disagree with you here - above 0% IMO.
I think it's important to remember he's not getting 3M in cash. These numbers are about the "value" of deal. So if it includes tickets to the game for his family that's in there. It how Beau's numbers got inflated because it includes money for his family to fly to the game, stay there and the tickets to it. They aren't seeing straight cash.
Because it is true for any deal over $600.00. Literally dozens of stories about this as part of the House settlement. Now, whether and to what extent this happens/is truthful remains to be seen, but NIL GO has already rejected some 'endorsements' as lacking legitimate business purpose. But it is a thing and currently exists and must as part of the current agreement. Could Allar just not report his endorsement deals? Sure. But, shouldn't be anything to fear if deal is legit.

The College Sports Commission just delivered a wake-up call that’s reshaping how young athletes monetize their talents. In a letter sent to Division I athletic directors Thursday, the new regulatory body rejected numerous NIL deals between players and donor-backed collectives, declaring they lack legitimate business purpose. This isn’t just administrative housekeeping. This represents the most significant shift in college athlete compensation since NIL launched in July 2021, with implications that extend far beyond campus borders into the broader youth sports ecosystem.
I think most of us here kind of thought it would be around that number.
I think why it's gaining traction now is there was another report out just the other day that listed a lot of NIL packages for players.
A) Nope. Not reported to the NCAA (which was the OP).
You might be surprised at the list of entities who they are NOT reported to. Or maybe not, IDK.
B) If the "deals" claimed on social media outlets were truly screened wrt "business purpose reasonability", how would the numbers cited (pulled out of thin air?) above be supported by "business purpose reasonability"? Obviously, they couldn't.
FWIW: Some of the figures "cited" in the internet postings are on par with the renumeration Patrick Mahomes - generational NFL superstar, and most highly comped endorsement athlete in the NFL - receives from his long-term national marketing campaign with State Farm. But Darian Mensah (who?) is receiving more for some "business purpose reasonable" deal for doing... nothing? That doesn't mean that someone may not have wheeled in buckets of money and dropped them onto Mensah's lap, in order to get him to play for Duke - though I doubt those figures, it conceivably could have happened - but could not in any verified way.
(You may also recall that the CSC, or whatever that acronym is, was only to go into effect in - IIRC - July 2025? I'd have to check to make sure. That should also make some things more clear wrt the veracity and verifiability of the numbers that fly around the internet.)
I wouldn't venture to guess at how much $$$ Drew Allar - or any other pro ballplayer not subject to the transparency of the traditional pro sports leagues - is making as a pro athlete.
I could safely say that the average compensation for P4 sub-NFL football players for 2025/26 will be well into the six figures - but beyond that, or broken down by individual, would be guesswork.
It is what it is. And there has been 100X more said about it all already, than is even worth saying.

I had the opportunity to meet somebody recently that was heavily involved in NIL from the beginning. You would know him by name. He told me flat out, never believe the numbers you read or hear. Grossly overstated.
Is that another term for "click-bait"? If so, yes, 100% most definitely a "business model" - seemingly at least a marginally profitable one wrt being a "College Football" influencer.
It’s the sports world with lots of cash money. How can they not be involved with liars?
Would agents leak false numbers to inflate salaries of certain positions? Nah. Never happen.
Did you just wake up from a coma? Lying is a business model. Also works for becoming the president.
The good cheer and overall positive outlook on our world.

Sounds like life on the interwebs, where we’re all millionaires many times over.
I am very significant.
Don't have to wait - already happening. (And, part of the argument moving forward - a LARGE part of the argument - will be that it is illegal to even have any limits to "eligibility" similar to the old "5 years to play 4" bit)
