This is whole nil is so crazy, man. 17 year old kids signing million dollar deals before even playing a snap of college ball.
I guess in this nuts economy might as well grab what you can get and what's available and then some.
If boosters or companies want to spend "supporting" the next xxx high school star to potentially flameout ... I guess it is what it is.
Remember Craig Chambers?

There's always a break in period for something new. The usual suspect winners are first th throw money at everyone. It will settle down
Once you get past the 5 star must have guys you pay for upfront it has always been smarter to pay off performance in college
Under the table or over.
Billy got his Camaro and loan once he was the starter. Summer jobs programs are for current players

It is nuts. The Ohio State QB that got 1.4 mil might sit on the bench for a few years. Ohio State is starting a freshman that was the #2 QB of his class the year before.animate said:This is whole nil is so crazy, man. 17 year old kids signing million dollar deals before even playing a snap of college ball.

Granted Ewers is from Texas, and an elite QB with a mullet that started for the biggest program in the state is valuable, but still. -
I don’t think UW players will reap the benefits of NIL. A superstar QB would. Amazon and Microsoft could easily put a couple mil aside for UW players but they won’t.
Local businesses will use a player from the Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, and Sounders before using a UW player. A random player on the Seahawks like Freddie Swain has more name value than any UW player. -

There's more recognition of college fb players in those communities because they are college football towns with no pro sports (okay one hockey team).
Seattle isn't a college town. -
It's going to be interesting how many kids wash out after getting paid. Becoming an overnight millionaire at 17-18 years old is going to send some kids off the rails

I don't think this is the natural order. It's something that was created by 30 years of fuckery at UW. I think that, had UW and local media made any effort at all, star Huskies would have just as much local celebrity as Mariner or Seahawk players.dnc said:

Tui would have been as recognizable around town as Junior, Edgar, or Arod if he had been promoted like them. That's what I'm postulating. Maybe I'm full of shit but I don't think so. The "fans" gobble up whomever the media serves them. -
The Hawks making the super bowl in 05 while UW was head on to owen12 turned the tide

Gay as it sounds, I would love it if they pimped this shit!Bread said:
Rolling up to the Michigan game inHFNY said:
Need a multi-multi-multi-multi millionaire to step up, preferably a billionaire. But none of the local people who fit that care enough except for maybe the Nordstrom and Paccar families?DawgsCanDance said:Why would any 5 star kid sign with UW now with a ton of NIL money out there by signing with a top money generating school... Seriously. To turn this around we are going to need to see some UW kids driving Corvettes [with 24/7 on campus parking, not at the dump] and getting some attractive deals with the attendant publicity ~ and sooner rather than later. I'm not saying its a good thing or a bad thing, i just think that is what is happening.
In the meantime, I will look in my couch's moderately used cushions.
Looking fly as hell
If our team doesn't roll up to the Michigan game swagged out in whatever designer clothes they want from Nordstrom in custom Purple and Gold Kenworth w900s I will be extremely disappointed.
