Too soon old, too late smart
Don't really think that tOSU paying all those NIL $ to KEEP our players home went unnoticed. But, the price of poker keeps going up. Do wonder if the yearly ? negotiations of NIL include raises and demotions. Hearing Jeremiah's NIL $ goes up to $4 million, just to keep him in S&G is a bit mind numbing (to me at least).

Day's contract is set to increase by another $mil, as is just about every coach, there should be no reason that the players see an increase too, especially arguably the best player on the team. The B1G is splitting a $7bil TV deal with Fox, they have the money. I shed no tears over these programs, I'd be fine if Smith made even more, tbh. The Shoe will be full of #4 Smith jerseys in the fall, he should be earning something for his contribution

Good call, you're absolutely right, but I think the revenue sharing starting in February. And yes, that's wild they can earn millions and not have to pay any of the people actually doing the work. There's not an industry in America that allows that.

Seem to recollect that the big shots in corporate America get millions in salary, perqs, and stock options, which translates to many millions as well. The rank and file that make the widgets that are sold get their wages and health benefits. But to your point, believe that the 'profit sharing' for sports teams is 'extra' or vice versa with NIL $. tOSU is in the catbirds (or is it cats bird?) seat, as tOSU makes many millions off of souvenir sales of sports stuff. Yeah, #4 or #33, or #?, jersey sales will bring in some big bucks. Curious how the profit sharing will shake out. X dollars per each? or a tiered system based on what? Highlight reels? Football will glome the majority of the funds (as they produce the most), but there are other sports out there (duh), that don't generate much income. Do they share in the loot? Beyond their scholarships, room and board, and 'laundry money'? Still a bit rankled about ND's share of championship, as tOSU's expenses were paid, then the money went into the 'pool' to be distributed to the 18 teams, plus a share for B10 HQ. Bet you vcash that the 'committee' clamps down a bit on the Independents (the Domers) when the 'new' rules are laid out. Anyway, let's bask in the sun while we can. Guess it's time to buy a new Championship mug, and license plate holder....Go Bucks!
