2024-25 Portal

So at what point does the program know how much they have
in the NIL till for 2025?? Not being an insider (which most of us
aren't), the whole process seems to be very fluid and any specifics
about the status of available $$ is held close to the vest by those
running the show. At some point there will be multitudes of books
written containing some very interesting and probably amusing
anecdotes regarding the madness that is NIL and the portal.

I don't think anybody really can know for sure, NCAA really screwed the pooch on it.

NIL dollars just aren't regulated; we've a few collectives (SU Football NIL, Orange United, etc.) who would know what they have to work with, but they're a bit like talent agencies brokering deals. There's nothing stopping companies from going straight to the agents of athletes that have them, or even the athletes themselves.

Say somebody opened up a restaurant on Erie Blvd and they wanted Mike Williams to be the face of it. They could potentially DM him on Insta and work out a deal, which at some level involves coming to Syracuse. Nobody needs to know the details of that deal except the people that made it and the IRS, and for the most part nobody is going to be inclined to share those details. If you publicize what you pay your talent, it just invites somebody else to come in and start a bidding war.

In other words, it's all one big silent auction.

I think Fran and Co. can get close to a recruit and figure out how much it would require and then reach out to the collectives to try to pull what it would take. They can reach out to the big donors and say "We can land this recruit for X amount, and it's up to those big donors to step up. Bless them for coming through last year. I would imagine seeing these results, they will be even more inclined to step up this year.

which is no different than any other contract. How did the NCAA screw the pooch on it again?
 
Who are the cuse football insiders on here?
Aren't you one of them? But, most of them are going to hold it close to the vest, at this point, as they should. The rest of us need to stay patient, for the betterment of the program. In a couple months, we are ALL going to be happy, except for those rat bastard Rutgers posers that try to infiltrate a real program. Seriously, eat crap you freaking buttholes.
 
Washington State QB John Mateer, whose OC left today for Oklahoma, is in the portal.
