Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 4867247, member: 6535"] 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 [URL='https://www.on3.com/news/usa-today-releases-top-25-total-revenue-college-athletics-programs/']average $166.9M[/URL]. 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. [/QUOTE]
