Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 4300808, member: 60"] A bit tangential, but still pertinent a bit: Ryen Rusillo had Bruce Feldman on his podcast and they were talking about re-alignment, but also about the NIL numbers being thrown around. What they said was that the dollar amounts being reported/leaked are equivalent to NFL players/teams announcing deals that include the non guaranteed money. Basically, they announce the very upper bound of what the deal could be (even if its very low likelihood to ever reach that upper bound) for benefit of the player and the team, but in reality, a LOT of these NIL deals for the players are less (and a lot significantly less) than what is being reported or rumored. Doesn't change the fact that if B1G payouts are 2x-3x what ACC payouts can be that players would choose the ACC over the new B1G, but just a bit of grounding in what is somewhat shaking out with the NIL deals.
