Why are we still talking about this guy?
We're not. This thread is way off the rails.

If Beck stayed on as OC this year, I do not think we'd have anywhere near the success we've had with Nixon this year.I think this an easy case of recency and confirmation bias. The plays worked because of the execution of an incredibly talented QB not in spite of him. For some reason you are just ignoring the obvious. We were 7-2 in one score games, same plays with any other QB we lose 4-5 more games.
Whatever, doesn't matter. We're 10-3 and changing the reality of the past can't be done.If Beck stayed on as OC this year, I do not think we'd have anywhere near the success we've had with Nixon this year.
And if we had Nixon last year, he would've figured out a way to get the ball out quicker so Shrader wasn't running for his life every play before getting injured.
I would love to see Nixon call an offense for a dual threat QB and I'm excited to see it next season.

Dybantsa isn't even in college yet, what are these numbers?Interesting to perhaps only me, but our old QB commit apparently made $3.7 million last year.

Creepy!Dunne well worth every cent
No It is notCreepy!
She’s a marketing machine and probably the only legit influencer of the group. Not sure what’s creepy about it.Creepy!
Yeah I wouldn’t give him a bag of returnable cansGrinCarson Beck NIL is grossly overrated

Estimates of what they think NIL may be potentially worth, but not an estimate of what they actually make.Are valuations just estimates?

I'm confused. Are these figures for the upcoming season, or the ones that are just ending now?
She deserves the money she makes, sure, that's the point of NIL. She can take advantage of her name, image, and likeness in a way that most other athletes cannot.She’s a marketing machine and probably the only legit influencer of the group. Not sure what’s creepy about it.
She's kind of the modern day Anna Kournikova but less skilled in her sport than Anna was in the grand schemeShe deserves the money she makes, sure, that's the point of NIL. She can take advantage of her name, image, and likeness in a way that most other athletes cannot.
But how is it "well worth every cent"? She has never come close to the individual podium in her time at LSU. She wasn't even a competitor for their national championship winning team this year.
Sorry if I misconstrued the point, but to "well worth every cent" came off as creepy.
She's the only one on the list that is THE face of a national brand and in every commercial for them. I'd have no idea that Vuori existed if not for her commercials.She deserves the money she makes, sure, that's the point of NIL.

You're getting the value from her social media presence. Not her athletic performance. Which is technically what NIL is for.If you paid her 5 mill in NIL would you have gotten 5mill in value from that? Who paid her the NIL? Was it that company she is in the ads for?
The irony is that her NIL is actually being used as intended - companies paying her because her likeness is a marketing tool. Many of the others are just regurgitated booster payments under the new model.She deserves the money she makes, sure, that's the point of NIL.

I get that her athletic performance isn’t necessarily driving the marketing opportunity (say as if you dumped a Caitlin Clark back into college hoops), but the NIL is being provided for the companies to gain from a marketing perspective rather than to influence her to go to a school.
I am not into fashion at all but somehow have this weird ability to buy active wear before it becomes popular. I’ve had Vuori stuff for years now but my fiancee used to be a Nordstrom stylist and like 6-7 years ago I bought On sneakers and I remember her asking me why I bought these “old man sneakers”. Guess you also has Ons now? LolShe's the only one on the list that is THE face of a national brand and in every commercial for them. I'd have no idea that Vuori existed if not for her commercials.

I’m curious how much of the NIL estimates we see on lists like this are collective driven vs advertisers. That would be an interesting statistic.Yes, she is doing EXACTLY what NIL is supposed to be.
As a reminder, college kids were not allowed to take any $$$ from advertisers previous to this. This is why you now see them in commercials etc. Anytime you see a college athlete in a commercial or anything like that, that is how NIL was supposed to be. Not the collectives etc.
