Got a Bama offer?

81% confident that in his original announcement he said he was 1000% committed.

Should read: Respect my decision unless you're willing to top the highest bid.

Still early in the NIL game. The kids are still feeling their way through it and will adapt.

get ready for some NIL examples we could see in future:

1) A local business situated near campus in alabama offers conditional NIL. You get this NIL contract only if you commit and sign to Alabama

2) Nike offer conditional NIL to OU recruit. You get 1 million in NIL only if commit to Oregon. No other university will qualify even if that school wears nike gear

3) 1 week before orange bowl. No-name placekicker from team ABC gets offered NIL by company residing in same state as opponent XYZ. To get 500K in exchange for skipping practice and/or bowl game and performing NIL photo shoot/videos.

4) package deal, 5 recruits will receive NIL if they all sign together (all or none), turns out the NIL money routes back to university boosters

5) state sponsored NIL deals - some states realize (or already know) how dependent they are on college sports revenue and begin offering NIL deals to recruits directly/indirectly for attending universities in their states

Some of these are pretty outlandish, but the big point here is that the NCAA literally has no guardrails at this point in time. The truly wild schemes are still in beta, but they're coming.

I'm sure Jen and Jimmy, the duo that got thwarted by the Pac-12's feckless covid protocols, are hard at work cooking up their own schemes and we'll be playing with the big boys in no time!

that could happen too ... but I think that the NFL has to get it's talent somehow ... so there's gonna be some sort of developmental league whether it's college football or the equivalent NFL D-league or something like that ..

I think that is already happening because of the SEC. If you think they are done, guess again. There's talk that they have reached out to Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Florida State. My guess is that they are trying to create their own league outside of the NCAA's authority. Imagine trying to recruit against a league that doesn't have recruiting restrictions.

The NFL will always have their minor league. The question is whether or not whatever new version of it that emerges is anything resembling an entertaining product.

Here's another unlikely possibility:

NIL pooling: local "businesses" (ahem, could be a university or 2 included somehow) pool their money together to form NIL pool for potential deals. Current pool amounts are advertised to potential recruits to sway decisions.

It's no longer about University vs university, but local business support vs another university local business support and state vs state. Think Nike (gear) vs Microsoft (gaming NILs). It really depends on how much businesses want to get involved. If the stakes really get this high, Alabama and SEC could eventually be on the losing end due to lack of billion dollar firms in the poorer areas of the country.

This is where I think NIL will totally go. The pooling of assets from Businesses to form a mutual or even smarter Index fund that as it continues to grow year after year, they can use to entice the student athlete to come there to get paid up front once they commit, then again at the beginning of every season assuming they make grades, stay out of trouble, etc, and finally when they retire there will be something there for them.

Jersey sales and Autographs, along with doing a meet and greet at Bud Simpson's Autogroup will be nice but it's going to be what Assets Under Management (including stock. Nike, Under Armour, etc) you can offer the recruit that is going to be the differentiator when this all done.
