On3 - NIL Valuation

[Bootleg11]

The entire NIL thing makes me sick.

I dunno. I can't say I have a problem with the free market. When I was 18 and someone wanted to pay me $2 million to be a QB I'm not sure why I wouldn't take that. You're worth what someone is willing to pay you.

At this point, NCAA or whomever is going to be running big time college football (Sankey probably) should just completely steer into it, make the players employees and then collectively bargain a "cap" otherwise the separation between the Alabamas of the world and the Nebraska's of the world is just going to get larger and larger. At this point we're driving towards minor league football, it may not be what you want, it may not be what you like...but it's happening.

Nebraska can either do one of two things...get on board and start ante-ing up or...not and then when the top 40ish programs break off and do their own thing they can be relegated back to a more old school type collegiate program with the Oregon State's of the college football world.

Agree. These boys and girls should be grateful to get a few clothes and 3 squares a day. Anything past that is an abomination!

Meh. College education, room, food, nfl training..... seems pretty valuable to me.

I haven't put a ton of thought into it, but I agree something needs to happen to level the field - or it'll just allow the rich to get richer.

The value they put on the social media followings is asinine, especially for a high school kid. NIL money isn't going to be coming from Intsagram, Facebook, or Twitter posts, it's literally going to be cash handed over to players from businesses and boosters.

That's not really true. It's what NIL actually is intended for, and how Lexy Sun made so much money from it. The cash handed deals are just the new way to cheat legally.

Everyone else is incredibly dense. No one has innovated in the industry until this dude does it and takes their lunch. I mean shit, 247s last innovation was the composite ranking. It took rivals YEARS to add a crystal ball feature, and they STILL don’t do a consensus ranking system.

Like everyone else in this industry is incredibly lazy, incredibly stupid, or both. If they didn’t know this guy would come up with new selling points as soon as the 247 noncompete expired I don’t even know what to say and they deserve to be buried.

In a few years he will sell on3, rinse and repeat. And likely no one will innovate in the meantime (because they are lazy, stupid or both) and he will be able to bury the poor sucker that buys on3.

It's like everything in life...find the niche, be better at it than anyone else, either build that brand/company or both to a degree while understanding what's coming next and build on that but don't use it in current business model, then sell company to (lazy, stupid or both) idiots.

This guy is a genius... @HuskerGarrett when you gonna sell tPB? Before you answer...the answer is DON'T

Right, but what do you want to bet his social media following changes pretty drastically once he commits?

I assume it factors that in? 36k followers is maybe getting you a couple hundred $ per year. @HuskerGarrett has 36k. How much you getting paid Gary?
