seminoles1 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) LMAO at the thought of the Rose Bowl having so much clout it could derail the expanded CFP. If they are going to be stubborn and refuse to move their game, then just don't include them. Simple as that.

The idea that they'll give any kind of a crap if they have to strip the game from them once the 12 game TV numbers get announce is laughable. They'll do it in a heartbeat.

It's a shame that prestigious programs like Alabama and Clemson will be knocked down a notch by these payments.

"But that's because of our brand." To all the 5 star recruits out there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 @beekay414 Web Apps America, a company that does stuff, and has 56 likes on Facebook just gave Hercy Miller (Master P's son) a $2,000,000 endorsement deal. The ROI of investing $2M into a 0* recruit that's going to play at power house Tennessee State will be very good. I wonder how many companies that do stuff will also be handing out huge endorsement deals. Seems like the NIL as currently structured will legitimately just be boosters forming fake companies that funnel money to guys as opposed to real endorsement deals.

This one actually seems like a pretty legitimate endorsement deal in comparison to a lot of the other deals. Like 10% of Miami's roster will go on to play in the NFL. ATT is one of, if not the, best MMA training facilities in the world. ATT knows that these guys are elite athletes, most of who will never make it to the league. So building relationships with them now gives them a nice pool of potential fighters they can recruit to come train at their gym down the road. We've seen Greg Hardy have so-so results in the UFC but he also started training pretty late in his career. It's not a huge financial investment from ATT to pay like $500,000 to have access to these guys because if even 1-2 of them ever go the MMA route and finds success, their gym could actually get a really solid ROI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this actually makes a ton of sense. It doesn't just cater to 1 or 2 players, rather the whole team and the benefits work both ways. The players can make some money and potentially find a new passion. ATT gets increased local awareness and a potential pool of future fighters. Idk about everywhere, but I know MMA gyms in a few areas I've lived have also done A LOT in terms of working with the community and local youth in building up the community and trying to keep folks out of trouble. While it may seem a bit Karate Kid-like, there's something to be said about results. I think being associated with an MMA gym can add a level of maturity and discipline to college football rosters that they may otherwise not get in the lockeroom. I think a few MMA gyms have gotten a lackluster reputation over the years thanks in part to Dana White having a fetish for flair and drama. But look at what Bob and Ken did with the Lion's Den. I personally think this is wonderful idea more programs would do well to at least explore going forward. Kudos to ATT and whoever at Miami got this set up.

After hearing lawyers bicker all day, I can think of nothing better for a Justice than logging into 247 and reading the true intellectuals of our time in community threads. You think it actually takes a long time to decide cases? No, they’re just busy explaining how the rankings are broken and the site is shilling for team x. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't California kind of force the NCAA's hand with their ruling on allowing kids to profit off of their likeness? The NCAA has literally came out and said that the NIL isn't supposed to be used for recruiting advantages. Quote While NIL opportunities are not to be used as recruiting endorsements, the NCAA also says “prospective student-athletes may engage in the same types of NIL opportunities available to current student-athletes under the interim policy without impacting their NCAA eligibility.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
