Simpson NIL offers

[TheDawg-Pound]

The offers were pouring into his agent. Miami and Tennessee each offered $4 million. Ole Miss joined around the same number. Tennessee hinted it could go as high as $5 million. Eventually, Miami raised its offer to $6.5 million.

We have to have a distinction between NIL deals and the collective stuff at some point.

Any idea who our highest paid individuals are per sport? Don't have to put the name necessarily, but would like to know the amount.

Men's sports.... I can't imagine the women getting all that much at MSU --- but some of you may know otherwise.

Why doesn’t he take the Miami offer? That offense is extremely QB friendly too.

Didn't OM sign a big time portal QB last week ?

But I was a captain. My handprints are in the cement at Denny Chimes.
I would have lost everything I built at Alabama.”

Between Leavitts rumored offers and Simpson, I'm convinced people are just throwing money to be doing it. Neither of those QBs are worth that amount of money.

Its all NIL, even though almost none of it is NIL.

I think we just have to realize that NIL isn't Name, Image & Likeness and never was. It's all just pay for play.

Yeah, F that noise. I love state, but if Miami offered me a bazillion dollars, go canes

I agree, but Miami did it last year with Beck and they're playing for a Natty next week. For some, that's all that needs to be said.

I think the real reason is he's just ready to go to the NFL. If he wanted to stay in college, he would have been paid at Alabama.

Considering the situation LSU was in, Leavitt kind of had them over a barrel and they had no good fallback option. I don't know what they're paying him, but he may be the difference between 6 wins or 9 wins.

There are definitely NIL deals that don't come from the collective, I'm not sure about football but I know there are for other sports.

Make no mistake. Ty Simpson did more in college football than I could've ever done at any level, but him talking about what he built at Bama as their #16 all time passing leader is about like Tyson Lee talking about his shining legacy at MSU

Which is probably the right call right now. Weak QB class and the Oregon QB announced he’s going back to college. First round picks have 4 years guaranteed money. Hard to imagine he wouldn’t be a first round pick this year.
