Name, Image, & Likeness (NIL) at tOSU

I just received a promotional email from Outback Steakhouse. Apparently 3 players from Ohio State (along with 2 from both scUM and Florida) have a NIL deal with them:

OK. it's Michigan, but the stat regarding total bowl appearances fails to acknowledge that the Big Ten only allowed one team to play in a bowl game per year. Much of that had to do with location of the games in areas where Black athletes were not allowed to compete against White. Still, lots of deserving Big Ten teams sat at home - some despite winning the Big Ten championship (because the Big Ten prohibited teams from making back-to-back appearances and in the case of a tie, the team that had gone the longest without appearing in a bowl game was sent). The rules weren't relaxed until the 1975/76 season

Looking at this ad, made me think of this article when NIL was first signed:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles...-notable-nil-deals-in-college-football-so-far

The UF QBs have looked not all that good. And then when you look at the list of high profile signees only Young and maybe Thibodeaux have made solid contributions. I wonder if some of those company's start having clauses based on performances. Will a player have a return a car if he's not starting(Rattler or King), will they lose some of their perks for not performing(Howell,Bolden, or a team that has an NIL as a whole), or will he not get all of his money guaranteed, or there are incentives? If I'm the owner of say a trucking company in Wisconsin, and I sponsor a RB through NIL(say Jalen Berger), I'd be pretty pissed that the kid I invested in, is not only not starting but transferring. Would I eat that money, or could I in the future just sign the RB, but the money is based on his performance? This should be interesting going forward, because I don't think we'll see the wild spending that many thought, if a number of kids don't produce. How in the heck can you put a kid on a billboard or in your commercial like DJ from Clemson(not trying the spelling) and he was just benched, or Derek Stingley Jr who hasn't played most of the season?

Who would have ever guessed? i.e. a NIL evaluation algorithm.

Travis Hunter's NIL valuation soars after historic flip on National Signing Day

travis-hunter-nil-valuation-signing-day.png


As National Signing Day began on Wednesday, Dec 15, Travis Hunter’s Instagram following hovered at 193k followers. His NIL valuation was $393k, with a $3.3K Instagram post value, $567 TikTok post value, and $126 Twitter post value.

On3 NIL Valuation is a proprietary algorithm that sets the market on the actual monetary value of the athlete based on numerous factors – it is not an equation of actual deals or how much the player is actually earning. In many cases, these athletes could actually be undervalued or overvalued in real deals.

The valuation attempts to set the actual market value of an athlete, removing booster-led collectives, which struggle to accurately base deals around actual athlete valuations.

On3’s NIL Valuation tool will be officially released to the public on January 5th, 2022, but is currently available to On3 staff behind the scenes in prerelease.

There are a couple players at UK basketball making over 3mil a year. These estimates are drastically low.

Nothing like a Baptist-based college hawking its own beer.
And Wake Forest is nothing like a traditional Baptist school.

"North Carolina Baptists voted to sever formal ties to Wake Forest University today, ending decades of dispute over academic freedom and moral constraints at the church-related school.

"...whether the issue was teaching evolution in the 1920's, the propriety of on-campus dancing in the 1950's, or the wisdom of accepting Federal grants in the 1970's, Baptists and university leaders have often found themselves at loggerheads."

''Why spend our resources to hold onto this empty shell?'' asked the Rev. M. O. Owens of Gastonia, N.C. ''Wake Forest long ago left the fold.''"

"School officials said they were uncomfortable with the growing conservative trend in Southern Baptist life." NY Times, 1986
