These figures are out of control. Surely the ROI will quickly and greatly diminish as NLI goes forward after seeing what sone of these guys were worth before and after.
Are you hinting that Rick's check is in the mail?All of that was without any contributions from the Crafts too, and that’s not even including outside sources that hasn’t even gotten involved yet. Nobody is going to outbid Kentucky if we don’t want them to. Nobody.
All of this will work itself out. Kentucky as a brand and with the boosters (who actually contribute unlike programs unlike Arkansas where their big ones typically don’t) there’s nobody in a better position. But we’re not going to allow anyone to Fleece the program, it’s not gonna happen.
That's why I try not to think about it.When you think about all that NIL money it just seems even crazier what college sports has become. Just a free agent bidding war.
Yes, these figures which are really projections are out of control. We need Marxism to limit how much money these guys can make.These figures are out of control. Surely the ROI will quickly and greatly diminish as NLI goes forward after seeing what sone of these guys were worth before and after.
So the free market isn’t sustainable? Weird how that work when it’s not corporations or the elite getting rich.It's not
That is why they will all become university employees paid with sharing of revenues their sports generate
And that reality is gonna come true a lot faster than anyone realize
Even worse when you consider someone had a 100k offer for reeves and cal somehow “missed” it like tubby did a fax for randolph morris. That is like if someone forgot to pay you 40% of your salary. Crazy cal was handling nil like he was a bag man.If those numbers are correct, Reeves got screwed.
I mean im sure reed shepherd drove A LOT of business to forcht bank. It comes down to investing in the right “spokesman”. As much as i love AB as a person that money was sunk as soon as cal benched him. Good for him getting his bag tho. Hope he does great at OSUYes, these figures which are really projections are out of control. We need Marxism to limit how much money these guys can make.
You are one ignorant human being. You calling others moron is hilarious.Typical raftard, they missed it? Shady @bradyjames and his boys are doing Matt Jones dirty work. Reeves has an agent and you try to get in contact with the head coach through another coach to get him a deal? Y’all real life think that’s how business is conducted? They can sell you morons any lie. It’s sad how stupid you are.
This moron still thinks an On3 project was how much NIL money players actually got. A projection and this ignorant goof think it’s actually what he got paid.
If what Barnhart said about UK NIL is true, we should have the money to pay Lanier close to a million, if not more.
Last year's NIL:
Dillingham made $770,000
Edwards made $560,000
Wagner made $560,000
Bradshaw made $520,000
Sheppard made $420,000
Reeves made $150,000
Even with the market taking an upturn of say, 20%, going by these numbers, the same guys would made about $100,000-$150,000 more each this upcoming season.
That said, comparably I'd imagine the market for our roster looks something like this:
Carr, Williams, Brea, Garrison: $400,000-$500,000 each (on average).
Butler, Oweh, KK: $200,000-$400,000 each (on average).
Perry, Chandler, Noah: $100,000-$200,000 each (on average).
Even at a maximum cost, you're spending $2 million on the top four; $1.2 million on the middle three; and $600,000 on the bottom three.
That's $3.8 to $4 million right now (at maximum).
Mitch said we had around $4 million originally committed, and then an additional $1 million. That was before the recent surge of around $700,000 from the BBN NIL fund. This fund is obviously only going to grow in time.
That puts our salary cap at around $5.7 to $6 million (at minimum).
It doesn't even factor in the extra coach's salary money we would have had to pay Cal (he would have made $3 million more than Pope this upcoming year); or the fact that we were willing to pay Hurley $6 to 7 million more a year than Pope. Where will that extra money go? It was there before and I know it didn't suddenly disappear.
That said, I'd say a safe estimate is that we still have a minimum of $1.7 million to $2.5 million in NIL available for the remaining two roster spots.
You can give Lanier $1 million of that without blinking an eye and still have around $700,000 remaining (at minimum) for one last player.
It's very sustainable. We've had it the whole time here in the US. It's only gotten better over the years and will continue to do so.So the free market isn’t sustainable? Weird how that work when it’s not corporations or the elite getting rich.
You seem genuinely upset, and have spent some valuable time talking about what a waste of time this thread is.Imagine actually posting these #s and presenting them as factual as if you have any f'n clue what you're talking about.
What a complete waste of time.
Live look at OP putting this topic together:

Things collapse in a free marketSo the free market isn’t sustainable? Weird how that work when it’s not corporations or the elite getting rich.
Difficult to do when you see all the posts and talk on here about NIL these days. Plus it appears on all sorts of sports sites everywhere. But, I agree with you trying to put it out of mind.That's why I try not to think about it.
Things collapse in every kind of economic market.Things collapse in a free market
Assuming those NIL numbers are right from last year, I think they refer more to what they were paid by the collectives. I'm guessing Reed and Rob made quite a bit more than that each by the end of the season via real NIL endorsements for commercials and such.If what Barnhart said about UK NIL is true, we should have the money to pay Lanier close to a million, if not more.

Limits on how much money a person can make?
I’m giving you the rule not the exception. This is one off example that is by far not the norm or not what is going on in NIL as a whole.Reed Sheppard was all over the radio and TV statewide as the primary spokesperson for Forcht Bank. Terry Forcht is a Louisville native and U of L grad and a major U of L donor--definitely not a fan of UK. Terry engaged Sheppard to promote Forcht Bank because Sheppard is a beloved figure in this state and the public will pay attention to the ads and patronize the product that Sheppard is selling, i.e., Marketing 101.
You're such a loser. Continuing to make accounts.On3 projections are now reality.
What is your reality, besides he 106 voices that speak to you in your head?On3 projections are now reality.
Is it possible for a loser like you to possess any self respect at this point?You’re such a loser, white knighting another dude. LOL at how pathetic dumb raftard trash are. There’s nothing more than you clowns hate than the truth.
Good luck with your message board boyfriend.
Okay, Leadbelly.Deflecting from your dumb post is see. LOL at how utterly stupid you are Mr we have $1.5 million left. You’re trash, you’re a moron, and for some reason you think you’re the smartest guy in the room. Enjoy being trash everyday you wake up dumb boy.
Oh and google valuation and it’s meaning so you can stop showing the world how stupid you are.
BTW, I’m not leadbelly, the mods know who I am and every account I’ve posted under, just ask them. I don’t even know who leadbelly is but I like the dude because he has trash like you triggered. Stop giving him credit for my posts.I use a VPN for my real account.
