Here is some NIL information taken from a report by Opendorse, an NIL platform that follows the NIL world in college athletics...located in Lincoln, Neb...
Overall Projected NIL Spending for 2024-25...
College Football: $1.1 B...Basketball: $389 M...Women's BB: $75 M...Other Sports: $134 M
NIL Collective Budgets for Power Four Conferences: $13.9 M per team....Group of Five: $3.4 M per team
Football Position NIL Earnings for top 25 starters in each group in P-4 conferences...
QB = $820K
WR = $610K
OL = $550K
Dl = $470K
LB = $440K
DB = $410K
RB = $340K
TE = $410K
Specialist = $60K
Total = $10,5M per team
Basketball is just as eye-opening per position in P-4 conferences...
So, as of now, top college athletes make 35.3% of what pros make in the same sports...
As sports and entertainment Phoenix based attorney (who represents a bunch of college coaches) - Gregg Clifton - says "recruiting is all about the money now as the first question asked by potential transfers is..WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PAY ME ?" (my paraphrasing)
I got this info from an article in yesterday's Daily Star by Bruce Pascoe entitled "In NIL game Cats staying competitive"...
For instance, according to the article Cats star QB Noah Fifita is making $1.2M, while star WR TMac is making $929K and star BB player - guard Caleb Love is making $812K per On3 as source...
It's a long read but very interesting in its analysis and makes you/me wonder about what is happening in big time college sports these days...
I hope that our current ASU athletic administration has some answers to this MONEYBALL phenomenon since we don't appear to have the types of resources with which to compete with the big boys of the college sports world these days...
Oh well, it is what it is, right..??
Go Devils!!!
