Rocco's NIL value

[Cloneon]

Everyone seems to be talking about the logistics and legalities. However, I can't help but think that the NFL is going to make some changes if NIL is going to curtail some big-time athletes from entering the draft. Also, the 'consequences' of transferring will become a metric that will be watched. Imagine spending big time $$$ for someone who rides the bench. There most definitely will be tampering with the coaches by boosters (yes. I know they're technically not that. But they are still wolves in sheep's clothing.) In my mind there no doubt will be a governance of this somewhere. To me the thread about the mega conference (ie ACC/B12/P12) may come to fruition. Especially, if there is a governance body defining some 'parity' guidelines.
But, we'll just have to wait and see.

Now, what ISU did with Tampa is the same they did for Omaha and others. Promise more playing time,

This is an odd take, considering.

Definitely lucky Rocco comes from a situation where he doesn’t need to chase a large paycheck.

Anyone know how much Rocco is making at ISU? 300k? 500k? What do we pay our players?

Didn't realize he was in the portal...

We go after players who aren’t in the portal too. Everyone does.

Admittedly don't know enough about it, but would it be possible for an NFL team to write an NIL deal with a prospect, convince him (monetarily) to not enter the draft, and then sign as free agent? Wouldn't that be fun to follow

 

[exCYtable]

I don't believe this NIL and transfer portal are working as intended.

I hate it with a passion and it's seriously ruining college athletics.

Rumor that Knebraska paying Raiola $2,000,000 for all 4 years.

I highly doubt it. The owners set the rules of the league for a reason. They aren't going to want teams trying to circumvent them.

If a kid earns $250k every year for 4 years in college... and invest it... it would be worth around $10 million or more when they are 62. And many are making more than that.

It would be worth about $45 mil. 40 years at 10% in SPY.

I hope you’re not a financial advisor.

Wait. Who are we talking about? Rocco?!

 

[CloneLawman]

Wait. Who are we talking about? Rocco?!

Yes.

 

[NorthCyd]

Yes.

I can't tell of you're pulling my chain or not, but if that's true it is freaking hilarious! Maybe a little scary too.

 

[madguy30]

I'd smack the kid upside the head.

In the working world we're guns for hire.

NIL has brought that to light in college ball. There is no loyalty. There is no "family"

Just straight cash.

Sure there's loyalty from some aspect but it's also been quite simply transactional forever and humans are only as loyal as their options.

Whether it was being paid under the table or scholarships, it was a financial advantage for the athlete.

On the other hand, there are still a few that have a need for a strong connection and that's where ISU will need to excel in all of this. Imo Otz and CMC seem to be strong in that area.

He isn't leaving.

This is one of the many players that Blum was working on the last few weeks to retain. Credit to CMC and his culture, Rocco’s commitment, his dad’s influence and Blum.
