[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he does 1 year of NCAA, takes his "sophomore" year off for the Olympics and turns pro assuming he's healthy, etc.. He will then continue to train at UMD though with their coach and his current coach. The deal probably includes full tuition regardless of him running and yes, insane NIL. [/quote]

Again, NIL does not work that way. The school itself does not make a "NIL deal" with you and schools still cannot pay athletes.

NIL typically just means you can take endorsement money from brands as a college athlete, which you were previously prohibited from doing. Similar to how pro athletes can take money from brands in exchange for doing commercials on TV.

Outside NIL deals typically cannot be used as recruiting tools, either.

PP - There are MANY ways to structure NIL now. He's already had an agent for several years, I am sure $$$$ was compared between schools in various packages. Boosters can do a lot. And sure track might not have a huge following, but he's positioned to be a star outside of track. He's already got a huge SM following, he's smart, well-spoken, charismatic, the full package. He's also going to pull in other T&F athletes, and maybe even other sports, who weren't previously considering Maryland. Even if he only stays for a year. This wasn't just an athletic decision, there was absolutely business considerations behind it. [/quote]
