The Rutgers connection to this athlete is not lost on me. This is what Rutgers is competing against when trying to land athletes. So far, Kyle McCord has been a non-starter.
OT: Pretty sweet NIL deal for a non-starter QB
- Thread starter Mr_Twister
- Start date
Yeah all coaches say that, he played the most last year behind stroud. My client is a buckeye booster, he’s the one who told me it would be McCord.
You guys are missing the point:
A place like RU that can offer a QB playing time as an underclassman is marginalized by places that can pay a kid to watch the starters compete for a championship.

How? The dealership writes off the cost of the car lease.
Try this: type in the kid’s name in Google. The next word in the suggested search is “car”.
Seems like good advertising,
Do you really think the dealership will get any value out of giving away a car to a QB who has not even won the job yet? Hell Ray Catena could make Wimsatt the face of his franchises and 3/4 of the people in this state would have no idea who the kid is. Its not going to help Ray Catena sell cars but might stroke his ego a bit. Good for the kid who worked out the deal, but how did the Ewers NIL thing work out for those donors at OSU?
They way I read it...they are not giving away the car, but rather leasing it to him for free for 'the season'.
Giving someone use of a Mercedes in order to advertise a Chevrolet dealership is certainly a new take on marketing.

Quite frankly I'd like to see more of this. Perhaps the local Columbus motorcycle dealer can give the whole starting line each free use of those high speed crotch-rocket motorcyles. And the local liquor store chain can add in a few cases of old grandad. And for good measure maybe the local fireworks empourium can give them a few crates of m80s.
Ewers didn't work out but they had the #2 pick. Those donors will just move onto the next guy.
Time to change the Subject line?
Someday not far away some NIL guys will do some crimes and NIL backers will come back to their senses.
They've been giving these things out like candy to players that are often pretty average
