Been there. Doesn't seem to be the case. Seems dangerously like a market economy.

How do we think NIL is affecting the season so far?


  • Locker room dynamics changing as some players are making bank?
  • Distractions as players are trying to practice, study, and negotiate NIL deals all at once?
  • Other ideas?

SmartyStreets, a leader in location data intelligence, is pleased to announce entering into name, image, and likeness (NIL) agreements with all female student-athletes at BYU that could surpass $2,000,000 in benefits paid to the athletes. 

Under the agreement with SmartyStreets, each female student-athlete will be compensated up to $6,000 for sharing about SmartyStreets on their social media accounts and participating in various company events and activities.

With Spencer Rattler struggling through the first six games of Oklahoma’s 2021 season, much has been made about his numerous NIL partnerships that he signed in the offseason. One of his NIL partners is now speaking out about Rattler’s slow start.

Coming into the season, Rattler was expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the country. However, he hasn’t lived up to that yet, and he was benched in favor of Caleb Williams in Oklahoma’s comeback win over Texas. Now, there are some questions about how his NIL partners will handle the situation.

One of Rattler’s partners is Fowler Automotive Group, which gave Rattler a pair of cars as part of an endorsement deal. Jonathan Fowler, the company’s president, said in an interview with Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports that they didn’t team up with Rattler solely for the immediate financial return.

The NCAA seemed to create some problems when it simultaneously allowed college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness and transfer once while maintaining immediate eligibility. Accusations have flown about surrounding tampering, where schools will try to induce players with offers of money to enter the portal and transfer.

But according to 247Sports’ Carl Reed, there is an unintended effect to the new NIL environment: some entities are not following through on their end by refusing to pay.

“Guys aren’t getting paid,” Reed said on a recent episode of The Block. “They’re not getting the money that they’ve been promised, and in a lot of cases they don’t have adequate representation so they’re not able to defend themselves. But a lot of these guys are going into rooms with head coaches and coaching staffs, they’re being told by these collectives that they’re going to get a certain amount of money and then that doesn’t happen. And then they don’t have any recourse. Because the big thing about it is, once they transfer, they can’t transfer again. So now you’re stuck and you’ve got a major decision that you have to make on how you’re going to handle that.


“Me personally, if you promised me $50,000, $100,000, and then you reneged and you didn’t pay on it, I wouldn’t play until you resolve the issue. I would hold out like they do in the pros because you’re using this money to entice it. There were kids who passed up on football situations and academic situations that were better than them because they were promised money. Money that they have not received.”

USC wide receiver Jordan Addison is one of those players that has had some controversy surrounding his decision to transfer. Even before he entered the portal while at Pittsburgh, reports emerged that he would potentially transfer to the Trojans.

Not surprising at all.  Most of us around here predicted a few years of craziness and near Wild West shenanigans, before things settled out.  We're only 13 months or so into this whole thing.

We're going to see MORE weirdness, before we start seeing less.

A week after announcing a $200 million facilities project, the Texas Tech football team got another boost Monday when the Matador Club, a local collective, told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that it will sign 100 Red Raiders players to one-year, $25,000 NIL contracts.

The deal will be for all 85 scholarship players plus 15 of Texas Tech's walk-ons, according to Cody Campbell, an oil and gas executive who is a member of the Matador Club board of directors and a former Texas Tech offensive lineman.


Campbell said that players will be expected to do community service and charitable work in the Lubbock area, and that payments will start to go out the first week of August.

This was 2 days ago, and all of the CBs were for MSU



It appears in the 2 days since, Texas, who wasn't even in his final 5, put together an NIL bag, and he's headed to Austin

FWIW, our other biggest OL targets got NILs to Miami and Texas A&M.  MSU cannot afford to swim with the big boys on this NIL stuff.  I think Tucker needs to shift his focus on recruiting here substantially.

Texas, going 5-7, last year is bagging lots of top notch recruits as of late.

as was feared...NIL is going to separate the haves from the have-nots 

like the 60s and 70s before scholarship limits and other rules to encourage a level playing field
