Duke job just became a lot less attractive

AT what point does a school realize they won't sustain or take part in this nonsense? There ar players in the NFL not earning 6 or 7 million a year.

I think an elite college quarterback is pretty clearly worth more than $7 million a year. NFL starting QBs make like $7M to $50M, with the top 32 averaging $27.7M... and those numbers would be higher if there wasn't a salary cap.

NFL teams average $580M in revenue. The public schools in the SEC average $166.9M. So, it stands to reason that the average salary for a starting QB in the SEC should be somewhere in the neighborhood off (167/580) * 27.7 = $7.97M.

Let me put it another way. What's a better use of resources, paying Jimbo Fisher $76M not to coach Texas A&M? Or spending $7.6M a year for 10 years on the best quarterback in the portal each season?

These NIL numbers are going to go up over time, not down. $10-15M a year for an elite college QB sounds about right to me.

So basically, if you're a good quarterback and you're making less than $1.5 million off NIL at your school, you're crazy not to enter the portal. If you're a great quarterback making less than like $5 million, you, too are crazy not to enter the portal.

Seems like the proper path at this point is to start at the school that gives you the best chance to get on the field right away... prove yourself worthy of the big NIL money, then enter the portal and cash in. That's going to be more lucrative faster than waiting behind someone.

I can think of a place where a hotshot HS QB could come in and start.

This is a great example of how to recruit a 4 or 5 star QB to Syracuse. Hey man, come here, start right away. If you tear it up, you can hop in the portal and make $2M to $7M next year for a powerhouse, somewhere like Georgia. If you do good but not great, you can make $1M to $2M - maybe here, maybe somewhere like Nebraska. Hey, you know I've got Kirby Smart and Matt Rhule on speed dial, right? I promise, if you can make more someplace else, not only will I not stand in your way, I'll help you connect. The only way I'll try to talk you out of it is if we can match it.

But if you go there now, you're gonna be behind someone who did that, and then the next year maybe you start - or maybe they go portal shopping again. You may not make big NIL money until year three.

Pair that pitch up with a good QB coach/OC, and I think you're working with something. Land a kid that way, develop him, and help him transfer to a factory for $5-7M, and now you can pitch the next kid on that same path.

Already a 247 Sports projection of him to Notre Dame.

Looks like ND just going to buy a senior QB every year now, hey whatever works.

 

[djorange1989]

Get the NIL money going I would lose it if we can get him!!

 

[Cusefan69]

I would be a big fan of that pickup. We recruited him once before.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Fran Brown recruited KJ Jefferson to Baylor before he signed with Arkansas. That would seem to be our best shot at a big time QB transfer.

Your theory overlooks the fact that a player cannot be paid to play football. So what is this 18/19/20 year old kid doing that’s worth that kind of money?

ND has already unofficially contacted him. No tampering of course

 

[hoopsupstate]

Doesn’t he have to wait until the portal is open?

No, his coach left.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Grad transfer plus A&M fired Jimbo so he's in the window to portal a little early, right?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Grad transfers and any player whose coach was fired in the past 30 days were already able to enter the portal and commit to a new school.

Schools aren’t paying this.

Still don’t know what the roi is

I wonder if Hartman would do it all over if he had the chance. Obvious question for Leonard to ask him.

Wait until their 1099 arrives in the mail.

Of course not. They would never tamper. Not Notre Dame. USC….Michigan….Pedo State, they would tamper, but not Notre Dame.

Supposedly head to S. Carolina as their QB just declared for the draft.

I know from some ND alums that not everyone was thrilled with how Hartmann worked out. Maybe trying to bring in a ringer every year is not the best plan.

Not really working they haven't won anything.

Hmmmm a certain former QB commit of ours wouldn't be happy with that...

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

How does UNC have enough cash to get these players and fund the ACC refs?

They save by not having to pay for classes
