Things getting exponentially more aggressive in this space imo. Especially for guys that aren’t potential Day 1 draft guys. The added twist of representation makes it even more likely. “We don’t get paid unless you get paid”.

Your take implies that NIL actually means “name, image and likeness”. Sadly, that is now an almost immaterial part of it. Now it’s a straight up professional contract, regardless of whether or not the poaching fanbase has ever heard of the player. I think this will get ugly.
The first couple years everyone was trying to figure out what it all meant — players, parents, coaches, boosters, agents. Now we’re entering year 3 and we might see some of the worst fears play out. The best thing that could happen is that there are a lot of NIL busts and it causes people to be cautious and the dollar amounts to be within ISU’s reach.
I think it’s safe to assume we have some deals living outside the collective.
Here's the logic in Cooper staying. Not saying he will but why he would. He's got one year before he's draft eligible. He knows how he'll be used here and can enhance his draft status. He transfers and it's a crap shoot. If the NFL is the priority (like it was for Tampa) he's better off staying. That said 600k is a lot of insensitive so hopefully we can offer enough to let him bet on himself.
Do we even know the $600,000 number is a real number? It was a number thrown out by 1 poster that said it was a rumor
You're assuming the report by a single anonymous message board poster of a $600k offer to Texas Tech is even accurate in the first place.
No that is what’s great about this whole back and forth.
Taco tech return on investment calculator has to be tough to see if those payment numbers are true.
No idea if THIS poster is correct but I’m 99% sure there are people on CF plugged in enough to have first hand knowledge of what a given player is getting or may have turned down at some point.
Wasn't the rumor that McNamara was getting that exact number too? And I'm pretty sure earlier in the year or the off season it was posted that the Texas OL were each getting like 75k.. So Iowa is paying their DBs each 600k? I just don't buy that.
This is purely a rumor but it was from someone who wouldn't have told me if he didn't hear it from someone connected, but they told me our bball guys are each getting 75k. Brent could probably clear that up but if that were true, that's 900k for the basketball team.
I think the rumor was they paid one DB 600k.
I really can't blame a player if they leave for a big ol bag of cash, but just look to Isheem Young or Craig McDonald for the dangers of doing that.
