I don't believe for one second that Tony is getting $400k from Mizzou. Those contracts are never published like they are in the NFL/NBA and it's always the agent that says how much it is. So yeah, it's always in the agents best interest to inflate amounts being paid so that it has a chance to inflate the market in the absence of real information. Even Iowa's NIL guy has said that the amounts being "reported" are nowhere near the actual amounts being paid.
Did Tony maybe get $100k-$150k? Probably....but until someone posts the contract publicly, I'm calling BS on that amount.
I don't think they've established a resume yet to command a big paycheck. Tony is essentially a 1 year veteran buy to fill a roster spot. You see that in every sport.
Another good year for Freeman and Dix and they may very well have better options for compensation.
I don't remember if I was considered an "employee", but I do know that my stipend was taxed, but scholarship was not taxed. I was a TA for the business school (microeconomics) while I was going to law school.
Much like with Patrick to Butler, I am sure this pushes Missouri into national championship contender.
Problem is no one in college athletics has grabbed the bull by the horn to regulate any of it. Powerful people could like SEC commish as Stankey but he’s too power hungry and greedy trying to build up his own conf. NCAA continues to prove they are one of the most incompetent organizations out there and do nothing.
Sadly at this point I think the only resolution we will see in the near future is when the government/congress interjects. They’ll step in and tries to implement some rules. Now govt is always good at screwing things up but not sure even they can make it worse. Cause right now it’s the Wild West and it isn’t getting any better.
Your mention of his agent raises a question. Are college players now allowed an agent? Used to be once they hired one they were defacto gone to the pros. Must be out the window with NIL.
Yep, they're allowed representation in this NIL environment. Proctor's agent is the same guy who represents Aaron Rodgers, for example.
Did they withhold tax and match your SS? If yes, then you would have been considered an employee, I believe. A part-time employee.
As a TA, your work was very much in line with the University mission. So, your scholarship was exempt. Your stipend was above and beyond providing room and board, so it was taxed.
Somehow, many, many years ago, it was determined that scholarships for athletes were not taxed, even though you could argue that athletics is not really part of the Universities mission. But they convinced the powers that be that is WAS part of the education of students.
If they do pay players, I think the scholarship, room and board would all be taxed, and I think the athletic department - at least for football and basketball - would lose it's tax exempt status. That would be a very big deal.
But, I could be wrong.
Have you ever been a CEO, do actually know what they do in a year? We all know the answer so, no need to reply.
The court ruling said their outside income can't be controlled so theres no way to regulate amounts.
It's technically separate from anything to do with school even though in reality it only has to do with school.
They'll have to invent some kind of new designation either involving employee status or unionization of some kind.
That's the only way to enforce a cap.
Or they could to try to challenge the court ruling. College basketball is not a monopoly, there's plenty of competing professional options available which is what they should have argued.
The problem is currently there's not much motivation for the programs who are benefitting to want a change.
That has become history unfortunately. But 400 grand must be a nice check for his representatives.
I am not arguing the numbers. And I don’t necessarily think Perkins is a must have player for us, or anyone else for that matter. but to act like getting 14 and 5 in the Big Ten is as ho-hum as skipping rope is a ridiculous take.
Stan Kroenke is married to Sam Walton's daughter. He has been a big Missouri supporter for years.
Maybe at the moment. Perkins had a usage% of 24.0 last season. Dix was 14.9. Let’s see what Dix can do with a usage% of 24.
Now you're showing your true ignorance. Dix is better shooter & can drive to the basket as good as Perkins & has a better pull up from 17ft and in. Freeman is a beast down low for a freshman. Perkins is not a better defender than either of them.
I'm not building a team around Perkins that's for sure. Iowa is building around Dix & Freeman. Enough said.

Go look at their stats. Perkins is better than both of them in about every single metric and they all averaged close to the same minutes. Empirical data, bro.
I'll quote Tom Izzo, stats are for idiots. Or people that don't know a basketball player from a ballerina. FYI, Dix shot better 2pt, 3pt & FT.
Now go cheer for Mizzou.
A fool (Mizzou boosters) and their money are soon departed.
National championship here they come lol.
The only difference between Missouri boosters and Iowa boosters currently is that Mizzou boosters are 400-500k poorer to get similar or lesser results than us.
Fair trade off, everyone wins, including TP.

Not according to Fran.
Not sure why he would challenge that; everyone is okay with him chasing the money. We're grateful he played for Iowa, and if Iowa couldn't pay him, then he should maximize his earning potential next year; probably the one time he'll be able to make that much money in a year playing basketball.
Is Tony Perkins the type of guy who would go on TV & say rain is in the forecast so that way he could enjoy an empty golf course?Not according to Fran.

So many Al Bundys on this thread. Living through the illiterate college jock, while not doing something meaningful with their money. Losers, all. Laughable, always.
I don't contribute to nil man. That's just insane. My tennis days ended in the 80's. I still rock 80's tight fitting shorts to emphasize my bulge and waiting to play @jamesvanderwulf in pickle ball, although sadly like a whiny bitch, I've been avoiding him.maybe check your mirror?
People paying for athletes like Tony Perkins might have a brain tumor. I'd get a CT scan asap.

Well… from everything we know you’re wrong. Thats the market for good players right now. Iowa State was all set to get J’Vonne Hadley next season then Louisville swept in and offered him 550k
You say "from everything we know you're wrong". What "everything"? Is Perkins' contract with Mizzou posted and I missed it? Again, it's all conjecture and it's all coming from the agents who have a vested interest in pushing up the market as much as they can. So yeah, I'll stick with my assumption that he didn't get anywhere near $500k until/unless contracts start being posted that show otherwise.
Well we know that the market got juiced when Cal went to Arkansas.
We know Tang remained at KSU because he negotiated a NIL budget that was increased from 1 million to 3 million.
These are things that have been reported. Everybody could be lying, sure. I've also never seen Europe, so for all I know it doesn't exist.
I'll take it from Brad, who actually runs an NIL collective, when he flat out said that the amounts being reported for NIL compared to what is actually inked are vastly different.
market full of panic and no regulation is not going to value people properly.
