Football NIL Discussion

[Flabio]

So this doesn’t get lost. Curious what the insiders or those in the know think? My speculation is that NU has $15mm in rev share and $5mm for FB NIL currently totaling $20mm. So we’re $10-$20mm off the top level. @PonyBoy can you take this to your sources on NIL to get their take?

Wasn’t his brother on the team there? He might have been outta here anyway since year 1 of Rhule Kingdom wasn’t great.

I don’t think money alone pulled him to Ole Miss. everything I’ve read is it was a mutual parting. Some guys aren’t worth the headache no matter how productive.

That was what I had heard from the internet. Weird how Tim is saying we lost him due to NIL.

If we can’t outbid Mississippi then yeesh.

Yep. Ole Miss grabbed him from Florida out of the portal.

Your speculation is wrong.

Every single defender that left was Rhule's choice.

If the Nebraska media had balls, they'd press him.

How much is NU’s total NIL and rev share for fb currently?

His brother exhausted eligibility and was drafted in 2025 so they didn't play together. When he entered the portal at Florida in 2023, we got a courtesy call and that's it.

Princewill was gone a day after (Dec 3) White to Florida State was announced (Dec 2). And as we know, as did many other defensive players.

Muh, NIL. Notice how Verghese worded his tweet, "guys like that." His target has been met, see OP.

Crazy to think; the day TW was publicly announced, a Florida State fan targeted PWill. A day later, he tells On3 he's going in the portal.

Muh, 1890. #derp

Prince and Gbayor were both demanding more money all throughout the 2024 season. It was well known they were on their way out.

If it was Rhule’s choice then why did a few of them leave essentially as soon as Tony White was gone?

Rhule's choice to pay them x-amount, including counters, or not.

- We played Ioa on Friday (11/29)
- Weekend talks to finalize NIL (11/30-12/1)
- White leaves this same weekend (per Rhule)
- Publicly, White to Florida State (12/2)
- PWill, and others* portal (12/3).

*Others portal same day White to FSU announced too.

But do you think that Princewill or Gbayor are wearing a Nebraska uniform this year if we simply match their outside NIL offer?

If the coaches wanted to keep them yes however we do not have an insider who knows one way or the other.

It will come down to this. Would boosters prefer to see talent like Wright and Hunter or Buford and Hartzog at most of out positions.

But most of the chatter during the season last year was that Princewill had completely checked out. Not sure why anyone is assuming he wanted to stay.

Yep that was what the internet was saying but who knows if that was correct as we do not have insider knowledge to confirm. Maybe he was a headache.

PWill, doesn't matter and I'm very confident in saying Rhule wasn't going to play the $ game with him, more importantly his family.

Gbayor, I have no idea & never asked but him going from Nebraska to Mizzou to North Carolina in 5 months says quite a bit.

 

[ShortSideOption]

We are 25-40 for NIL dollars nationally.

Princewill wasn’t staying no matter the money so not sure where that original tweet is getting that.
