[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The football recruit for Stanford goes 100% for free even if you make millions per year…100% of all Power 4 football recruits receive 100% scholarships (and if they were poor they would also go for free because they are as generous all Ivies for need aid).

So…let’s leave Ivy and Patriot schools out of the conversation because the economics of attending college and the ability to compete at a high level at a Power 4 school in football (not to mention having sold out stadiums and national TV coverage) will outweigh everything else.[/quote]
You are way overrating how many Power 4 teams sell out their stadiums, especially at those schools with the best academic reputations.

NIL is also hardly a pot of gold for the vast majority of athletes, even the Power 4 football players.

Except now the Power 4 schools are just paying athletes direct in addition to NIL.

$22MM of which they say 75% will go to football, so $16.5MM spread across 105 players or $157k per player on average per year.

The QB, skill positions and starters will probably get more…but it’s still probably a minimum of $30-$40k per rostered player per year (plus free total cost to attend).[/quote]

The real question is, how much is all of this worth when the student acquires CTE 5 years after graduation? [/quote]
