What Beau Pribula is getting for going to Missouri

This. NIL is not going anywhere. It is not illegal to pay someone for services rendered. It is now a useless argument.

With that given, players have the opportunity to evaluate their mixed desires for playing time, being on a championship team, and pay. Individuals will evaluate differently. It may be hard to see for some, but talent acquisition is already diversifying across college football. I suspect, when more kids understand this, there will be continued, greater diversification of the talent pool.

There will always be a certain set, or emerging set, of teams that have ridiculous amounts of NIL to distribute. That may fluctuate, but NIL offerings will not change.

What does change is the potential, schools’ allowances to pay players. In evaluating money, playing time, and/or just desperately wanting to be on a championship team, the B1G and SEC are in the best position moving forward. For the other conferences, the only thing that improves the non-monetary disadvantage, would be a true, tournament of FBS champions. Players who are motivated by playing time and the potential for a championship could then evaluate that route, and they could probably still make some, albeit less, coin.
Very well thought out post. From what I understand the NCAA has taken it on the chin losing court cases. Hard to say what NIL offerings will look like over time. You make a great point that players may start to evaluate more what they want they want out of their college football experience. Hopefully revenue sharing will help with that.

I may be wrong, but I think these numbers being thrown around for these QBs are total value of the contract, not annual amounts. So if the number for Pribula is correct, it’s probably $750k/year for 2 years.
I have been wondering about this as well. The article linked inside of the sporting news article says $1.5M for 2025:

Sources tell On3 that the quarterback’s NIL package with the Tigers will pay him $1.5 million in 2025, on par with starting SEC quarterbacks.



But Cory Brada reported $1.5M "over two years".

$1.5M per year for Pribula seems high, but who knows anymore.
 
$1.5 for a starter, which is what he will be at Missouri, makes perfect sense.

He is a dynamic player that will have a big impact if utilized properly.
 
$1.5 million.

Seriously? Has this guy even started a college football game before?

I’m sure the kid is talented, but $1.5 million is too much for someone who has only played in mop-up duty. Iowa needs to spend that on their OL. Good lord.

I agree, there is no guarantee that he would even be the starter. I am glad we didn’t spend 1.5 million on him.

Welcome to College Football - 2024 version. It's out of control

That’s a pretty big IF for $1.5 million. Therein lies the problem with NIL. Fear leading to paying a lot for possibilities.

If you don't win the SEC title or have a deep run in the playoff would you consider him a flop then?
