Yeah, I see your point and I see @Liberty City El ’s point as well. I’ve been working on the front lines of the NIL stuff and I think collectives will get hammered I.e. what Nico got will probably be a thing of the past. But ultimately we if you have some big donor with a private biz that he or she owns the majority of kids can still get big marketing deals and that will never go away. The collectives lead to inducement and people (gov’t) don’t like that. I personally love that kids are getting their due, I also think there’s no way to determine true market value right now. Will be an interesting evolution for sure.I hear you, but I guess I'm failing to see where 15 and 16 year olds are getting paid for the potential to generate revenue with amounts like this. And there probably are examples, I just can't think of any. I agree with you, as ridiculous as it is, there are kids under 10 making millions of dollars on YouTube. But, as silly as it may seem to adults, they are generating revenue for YouTube. They are "selling" a product. People are actively clicking, viewing, generating traffic for what they're doing. But how much revenue is Rashada or countless other HS juniors generating today? We're paying 16 year olds a million dollars under the assumption that he might become a good football player and generate revenue for the school he plays for?
Just seems like such a slippery slope right now, and I'm shaking my head of thinking where this eventually leads. We paying kids playing for the 115lb optimist team a couple hundred grand in a few years? Where does this stop?
