lo country Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Ryan Day brings up an interesting point. Spreading the wealth amongst players.......Sure the skill guys/DB's will get paid, but what about the lineman, the guys on the 2nd string etc.... Will some guy (Bama QB making almost 7 figures) cause some issues from other teammates? https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/what-was-trending-during-day-2-of-big-ten-media-days-shared-nil-income-sugar/article_9b26cdeb-d984-53a7-8da6-48ee4ff528e1.amp.html Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Do you work in an environment where other people make different amounts of money than yourself? Does that stop you from doing your job? Ryan Day makes $5M a year as the head coach of Ohio State. Yet his admin that makes $30k still shows up to work every day. This is how the world works. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

However, we perform the same job. I understand where you are coming from, but the high speed positions wil get the endorsement deals. I do not see a lot of line man or kickers getting a lot of commercial deals on tv. I think the point Day was making is will this breed animosity? Divide the locker room? I know in the NFL, you hear about QB's paying their OL, taking them out to dinner, buying jewelry/cars etc....Can they do this in college? If I am a Bama OL and I am getting some deals like 10K/year and my QB is getting 7 figures and I am a 19 year old "kid", busting my a$$ and making sure he stands up right it would be hard to swallow. I don't think we are talking a disparity of a couple $1,000. I am guessing in the tens of 1,000's....... It is going to create more problems then solutions IMHO. I imagine schools presenting would be recruits the portfolio of their players, average amount per positions etc..... I remember reading the autobiography of Deion Sanders. He did research and realized CB's were middle of the road salary wise in the NFL. In college he created "prime time" and "neon Deion" as a persona to drive up his earning potential at the next level.......Maybe college guys will start doing this at all positions..... 1 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I think it was Emmitt smith would buy his linemen rolex watches. If you're a star qb or rb you'll take take of your guys up front. Also does ryan day share money with his assistant coaches who make far less than him? They're the ones out on the road recruiting and coaching up the players. I would guess he doesn't. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hans Gruber Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I wouldn't think most lineman would be upset about the QB or skill players making more money. They already get more recognition anyway. Plus, I bet most starting lineman (if they are decent) can get endorsement deals with restaurants like buffets and barbecue joints. Any smart QB making money will be paying for his offensive line's food and beer anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment

And then get benched… Any lineman worth a “sponsorship” has the NFL in mind. They aren’t going to put out bad tape out of spite. Unless they’re stupid, and in that case it just makes the scout’s job easier. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebraska55fan Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I've found many people are extremely generous and virtuous when they are spending or talking about spending other peoples money. When they have to dip into their very own pockets, there is usually an excuse, move the goalposts or they become extremely quiet. The Supreme Court said Colleges cant limit what players are being paid. Not so sure the Universities can force players to pool their NIL earnings. Dont expect most of the players to do it on their own with anything other than token amounts- unless they are really going to walk the walk. Dont expect to see that. 2 Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If the OL produces some awesome statistics this year, I’d be talking to the Nebraska Cattleman’s Association. That’s a perfect fit. Cornhusker “beef” promoting Nebraska Beef. Quote Link to comment
