In reply to: The teams bring in that revenue. posted by wpkirish

If you don't think Michael Mayer had offers to go elsewhere for big money...

Collectives are being tucked in to internal football program operations at places like Ole Miss so the coach can figure out who to pay what. Brian Polian's job is now basically just that. Ryan Day wants $13M to pay his roster.

Each ND player gets a fixed NIL payment of low 5-figures. Other schools have the same arrangement (Texas Tech just one example). A non-inducement inducement.

The talent is the product. The talent sells TV ads.

And yet for a CFB program that has top line of $100M, the players only get about 5% of that. A steal for the schools.

ND, at $150M in revenue and only $8M in scholarships...and we wonder why JS and JJ are writing op-eds.
