Who knows? Maybe they'll get sick of him saying, "This is how we did it at Syracuse!"
I don’t think he was our best defensive player, granted the difficulty in comparing defensive tackles to linebackers to corners and safeties.
I’m with you but in a one year vacuum there are outliers.
Exactly. If he is stuck behind two guys at Ohio st then why do you think he can beat out NFL dudes fighting for a spot on a 53 man roster? The goal is to make a roster. Not just to get drafted. Getting drafted guarantees you nothing.
I can’t imagine this number is accurate. Ohio St collectives paid $50k/2yrs for a lacrosse defender last summer. They sure are paying more for a football DB
Probably right
however, I think Carter had good games at times where everyone looked really really bad. That isn’t a knock on him at all, but something to consider.
There is some risk that OSU brings in more safety help via the portal but maybe they told them they aren’t. It will definitely be harder to bring in experienced talent now that Carter is in the fold. I think it’s more likely the situation is similar to the one you described but Carter is the talented experienced player that plays and the talented Frosh DB can’t get on the field much because of the known experienced talent ahead of him in Carter.
In theory yes but a lot of this money from OSU and TAMU and Bama is coming from boosters. Those guys are used to under the table deals so I see no reason they would change now for the reasons I mentioned above.
My understanding is he has a clear path to starting and wouldn’t have gone if he didn’t.
Pretty sure he got at least 3x that amount
This is interesting to hear bc I don’t know anything about our collective. I have 2 questions:
I dont think he had a choice. If your family is hurting and you have an opportunity to take care of them. TO FIX THINGS. That is all you think about.

Here is the website for one.

It has to be tied to something. Whether it be charitable work or selling a product. It's not as simple as a check. John Ruiz created an app that has 100 downloads in the Google Play store to make sure Miami is clean. The players he has paid are promoting a product no one uses or has heard of besides them mentioning it on their social media.

unrelated to this one but I bet in a few years, we’re going to see stories of rampant fraud at a few of these collectives. The possibility to rip off unsuspecting sports fans is too high.I’ll be 100% honest don’t know the ceiling.
As far as how it works, I’ll link the one collectives website here. Should have most of the information you’re looking for….
I will say, as far as donors, I know the two big ones we have are definitely only looking for high end donors. However, 315 foundation is always taking donations.

This is my gut feeling on why things have been so insane for the first couple years of this and why things will settle down over the next couple years. There is a market being established and for most kids the NIL money won't be enough to overcome other factors.
Strongly disagree. Gus Edwards averaged 6 touches a game at Miami because they had depth at running back. He averages almost 10 touches a game in the NFL. Justin Fields transferred because he wasn't playing. He's one of the best young QBs in the league. Jalen Hurts transferred because he wasn't playing. He's one of the best young QBs in the league. College football has more politics because of boosters, feeder schools, relationships with high school coaches etc. and you know that. A kid could get buried on a depth chart at OSU for a number of reasons, but transfer and shine at some school like Cuse, and end up getting drafted.
