NIL deal gives every Texas Tech player $25K. What's next.


Jul 19, 2022, 7:41 AM

We can wonder what the various Clemson NIL collectives and other schools might do to top the news out of Texas Tech...

"a non-profit collective organized by Texas Tech donors, plans this week to sign 100 Red Raiders football players each to one-year, $25,000 contracts.

Cody Campbell, a founding member of the Matador Club board of directors, said all 85 scholarship players and 15 of the top walk-ons will be covered under the agreements. In return, they'll be expected to do community service and charitable work around Lubbock and, in the future, possibly other West Texas cities.

Campbell said payments to players will be made monthly beginning the first week of August, and the community service endeavors will continue throughout the next year."

Crazy. So now the bar is set for 2.5 million per season.

So your saying the players will not actually be paid for their NIL? Seems like an easy example of what isn't allowed under NIL.

I actually don’t mind that. Basically funding each kids housing during school. It’s when kids get 6 and 7 figure NIL deals that make me question the system.

And it says they are going to be expected to do charity and community service work. If that actually happens this sounds like what NIL was supposed to be.

This is just one of the opening salvos. Before long, players will simply be employees of a university. I suspect many players will no more be students than the maintenance personnel who wear the logo on their uniform.

The money wars are just beginning.

Every OU player gets $50K. Every BYU kid gets paid.

Meanwhile, we have social media rooms and Rencher and Boulware arranging meet and greets.

We have screwed the pooch on NIL.
