Why wouldn't On3 have a good source on this info.
What is the source for the numbers people on here are throwing out for UK players?
I've heard Bruce pearl and Matt Jones and I'm thinking someone else in the know but I'm forgetting who said it ... but numbers got inflated due to schools fighting over players is what I heard... I've got no clue on why tgere numbers is ehat they are tho .

I think alot of those numbers are low-balling those kids....I think JQ got 3.2 and I heard we had as many as 6 players up iver 1.5mill
Well if 22 million is true then I would have to agree with you. It’s either what you said or Pope and Mitch are full of it.

Is this accurate?
The reason I ask is that in separate threads both JQ and Mo's NIL numbers have been listed by various posters as being higher.
I've seen a 3.2 mil claim for JQ and a 2 mil claim for Mo.
I know there aren't many math majors on RR, but someone please explain to me how our top guy got $2M, next highest is $1.6....and yet we SUPPOSEDLY spent $22M on this roster. Using those two descending numbers as a baseline, the number is likely $10-11M. Ridiculous

Use your own math lol. 6 x 1.5 = 9. Add 3.2. 12.2 for your too 7. Even if you are right, which I seriously doubt since our second highest is $1.6, you STILL can't get that number to $22M

So you're saying no NIL list would be accurate?
I can buy that but if On3 's list is just speculation then the 22 mil UK roster is probably speculation also.
On3’s numbers are valuations, just an estimate of what an athlete could expect to make in a 12 month period according to their algorithm. No one releases information about NIL deals and no one releases rev share percentages. People who claim to know specifics are talking out of their ***.

I’m sure the “reports” folks will take it as fact though.

All the numbers you hear are mostly inaccurate. I’ve said many times our NIL is the 15 million range not 22 this season and that no one gets 3 million plus on our team. Some of our guys numbers are way off and others are somewhat close but don’t trust everything you read. That being said let’s kick some Vols today!

OO and JQ both we're north of 3mill i mean thats 6 with 2players ....MO got over 2mill who said that DA at 1.6 is second on the team? So you believe he got more then OO? Thats hard to imagine you believe that .

First of all I never once said anything about 22mill ,second of all I've heard it . Now if you wanna imply me hearing something as concrete you must think highly of my opinion! Ty but I take hearing things with a grain of salt , you might try it!

Also, paying a guy coming off a serious injury top 5 NIL money is a joke. Didn’t even know if he’d play this year
