Alabama football coach Nick Saban hasn't officially named Bryce Young the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback, and yet Saban says that Young is already approaching $1 million in endorsement deals.

According to reports, Saban told the Texas High School Coaches Association's convention on Tuesday that Young, a sophomore, is due to make "ungodly numbers."


While Saban wouldn't divulge the specifics of the deals Young has signed, Saban said the total compensation is "almost seven figures."

"And it's like, the guy hasn't even played yet," Saban said, according to The Athletic. "But that's because of our brand."

Wow!  If that's truly the case this thing will truly further widen the gap.  It's like the NFL without the draft.  The top programs will just out bid everybody else for the best players.  

I wonder what T Boone Pickens would do if he were still alive?  Can you imagine a billionaire simply buying the best players?

I have zero doubt this will happen.  Phil Knight at Oregon comes immediately to mind, but there are plenty of billionaire boosters all over the country.

You're probably not familiar with him but Tillman Fertita of Pappadeaux/Golden Nugget/ Houston Rockets and Billion Dollar Buyer immediately comes to mind for UH.  

I know UT has some billionaire boosters, but who are they?  I think McCombs is dead. 

A&M would maybe Lowry Mays (Clear channel / iHeart media ) and possibly Beaver Aplin of Buccees fame.  I'm sure I missed one or two candidates.  

I guess the main question is how can they write the expenses off.  Advertising?

Advertising would be the most obvious answer and that gives a guy like Phil Knight an obvious advantage.  Isn't the Under Armour guy a Maryland alum?

Yes he is. Been trying to turn Maryland into the Oregon of the East Coast for a while.

I thought so and this NIL thing just might be his vehicle to do that.  Like Phil, he can write it off as advertising and just create a situation in which recruits know that there is money in going to Maryland.

To be fair, we probably don't need to wait to change it... It already works.
