Have you seen Emmanuel Forbes? Not the exact same type of player but he can certainly make a roster
Jeremiah Cooper NIL representation
- Thread starter CyDegen
- Start date
I can tell you that Iowa is paying certain DB's close to 600K a year. I know we can't pay that but we better get as close to 200-300K if not more for Cooper as we can.
Which Iowa DB is worth that much?
Texas - Arch manning
Different situation, but the answer to your question remains the same
I don't think that's going to work once this has been standard procedure a couple years.
Really? I find that hard to believe I know they have a much larger NIL but paying your DBs that much plus the absurd amount they supposedly paid for their QB doesn't leave a lot for the rest of the football team, basketball team etc.
I sit here just conflicted by all of this. The players deserve a cut of all this cash sloshing around. In some form.
But I have a low comfort level with the way it's being done.
Really it's because I see ISU falling behind in a new race to make players professional athletes. The school invests in football and NIL adds another layer that can pull players out of Ames.
New day. Good for the players. Unsure about ISU in this ecosystem, but that's nothing new.
These agencies can actually go out and get them good endorsement deals with national brands
Is anyone really that worried that Noel is going to leave? Seems very unlikely to me.
*Rumor*
Tech is going after Cooper with 600k

That's great. Seriously. Good stuff.
Just hoping the big time agent is doing what's right for the player.
As a fan, hoping ISU can navigate the new world.
Agreed. Great for the players. Good for them. But the smaller schools are 100% going to get left behind and that's just the way it is.
I don't have any information on who is, who isn't leaving and what if anything this means.
But unless we have someone whose an alum who has a lot of money, the reality is, we are going to lose people. Every year, probably. Its just the sad reality of the present situation
So would the national brands persuade an athlete to go to College A instead of College B? Obviously that would and will happen but I see that happening rarely. Maybe I'm naive.
I see this more as Cooper and Noel may not have comfort in pushing the envelope on how much they can ask for a Pizza Hut commercial, so Rosenhaus is doing the envelope pushing for them. Or at least that is what I'm hoping for. Not Nike or Addias saying yes...but.
