NIL will be the undoing of college football along with being able to transfer every year if wanted. There are already signs that promises that have been made apparently haven’t been kept. What’s the sense of going into the NFL where the players are faster and bigger on every team you play in the chances of getting injured are greatly increased? if a player hangs around long enough and does well enough, he could be set for life without ever playing pro football, or should I say NFL football?
I love it too because, as far as I understand it, the contracts are from third-parties and not the schools directly. (Though they certainly play a part and getting it organized and funneled to the players they want to sign).
Since it's 3rd party contracts, the coach can't just mess with the players money because he doesn't like them the way an NFL coach can with your salary and fines.
This list of players who woulda benefitted the most if NIL woulda been in 2000s. And estimated amount acc. to todays market.
(based on highest paid Sheduer sanders [$6 Mil] and his popularity compared to past players n what they would generate)
1. Tebow- $10-12 Million per season 2. Reggie Bush- $10-12 Million 3. Cam newton- $ 9-10 million 4. RG3- $8-9 million 5. Johnny Manziel- $8-9 million 6. Jameis Winston- $8-9 million 7. Vince young- $ 7-9 mil (more if stayed another year) 8. Deshaun Watson- $6-9 mil 9. Adrian Peterson- $ 6-7 mil 10. Matt leinart- $ 6-7 mil Colt McCoy $ 4-6 mil – Ndamukong Suh- $4-6 mil – Tyrann Mathieu- $ 4-6 mil
Not a lie tips Channing! Tebow was Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan combined in Gainesville. I remember going to the gator walk and girls used to cry when he walked through. And he had massive security. All you saw was #15 jerseys
Athlete's get free education, but they should have always made money autographing things. Nick Saban made millions coaching in college, but he hates the NIL.
Im with him being in Florida and now they paying the high school kids i was a top lift hand QB and the best ball player in high school just had no money n support so just imagine what that money would have did for me
It's always funny we always hear how about the 2 BCS Championships at Florida. People do realize that the BCS Championship in 2006, Tebow was the backup QB to Chris Leak. Chris Leak was the MVP of the BCS game!
That's why it pisses me COMPLETELY off that Nick Saban has been lobbing for Donald Trump, WHO'S A FREAKING SPORTS GUY, to change how college athletes, especially football players are getting paid. Do your research on how much freaking money Alabama GAVE Saban, not paid him… gave him. It doesn't take a damn brain surgeon to know why so many people are against NIL & I'm going to leave it at that.
The list could go on for awhile…Charlie Ward, Eric Crouch, Matt Leinart. Channing is absolutely correct. This is why I like the NIL deal setup BUT it does need some checks and balances.
National Basketball 🏀 Champs from UCLA Charles O'Bannon and Ed O'Bannon played a pivotal role for getting the NIL ball rolling. Any college athlete getting paid today or in the future owe those two guys big time. If you don't know how we got here, just look them up!

NIL has ruined college sports
2006-2007 was legendary with both the football and basketball title. Campus got some nice upgrades after that. Tebow was a rock star in GNV
Maurice Clarett
Denard Robinson aka Shoelace would’ve been the highest NIL player on the planet back in the day
Channing spitting

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. 😅
Tommy Frazier was something special at Nebraska he was Michael Vick before Mike Vick
💯
I remember seeing somewhere when Tebow was at UF, his jersey sold more than any other college or NFL jersey in America
Willis McGahee was the Truth!!!!

I mean he ain't lying. At the VERY least they should have been getting payed for being used in video games over the years.
The Tebow era was WILD! I miss it so much ✝️
Deion could have made millions.

Tebow built Gainesville and Manziel built College Station.
Recruiting violations dam near meant the end of a program
I ain’t a UF fan but I gotta give it to him.
Channing speaking facts!
Athlete's get free education, but they should have always made money autographing things.
Nick Saban made millions coaching in college, but he hates the NIL.
Good take Chan!
A free education is enough.
let's be clear chris leak won that first championship
NIL destroyed college football, no heart, no loyalty, money wins championships now….
Actually he won them one .. the other was Underrated Chris Leak…
Tim Tebow and JM would’ve never had to work another day in their damn lives if NIL existed then
Im with him being in Florida and now they paying the high school kids i was a top lift hand QB and the best ball player in high school just had no money n support so just imagine what that money would have did for me
Chris Leake won the 2006 Natty. Tebow would play wild gator fullback in 06
Best take on this thus far.
Get Tebow on the show dawg

I HATE NIL like there’s just no good reason why a college student should make more than a professional plus they spend it on stupid stuff
National Basketball 🏀 Champs from UCLA Charles O'Bannon and Ed O'Bannon played a pivotal role for getting the NIL ball rolling. Any college athlete getting paid today or in the future owe those two guys big time. If you don't know how we got here, just look them up!
Lies, Steve Spurrier when he coached “The Mighty Gators” built Gainesville.
That boy Fred was 👀 looking like HOLD UP on the built Gainesville BUDDY 🤣🤣🤣
Jameis Winston for sure
Isn't Tebow against NIL, though?
I love Gainesville had a ball living with my uncle
❤ facts
I love it too. NIL just need structure.
Joe Hamilton, but what evs Chan lol
He not lying. I'm from Blacksburg. The difference pre and post Mike Vick cannot be explained!
