He's going on that area and QB Carson Beck has transfered there Ohio St has stat d they'll retain him. Im thinking 6 plus mil per. I find it mind boggling that a college WR can make more money in college than a mid-level or practice squad NFL WR. I know Jeremiah Smith can't declare for the draft for 2 more years, but this is ridiculous. If he gets hurt, is OSU still obligated to pay him, or do you buy insurance on him for that issue? I'm not crazy about paying student athletes or this NIL stuff anyway, and this is just payment on steroids especially since OSU is reporting a $37,000,000 deficit in the athletic budget. It used to be that football and basketball funded all of the other sports (supposedly). If this deficit is true, what happens to the other sports (some of which are nationally ranked in their own right, like synchronized swimming, or pistol)? Report

February 2, 20251 yr comment_1786035 the new College funding limits and NIL potential changes are going to be interesting.. Andrew Brandt did a great podcast on it a week or two ago. teams can pay from their pocket a limit of 23mil (give or take) a year, thats for ALL sports. so all of the real money must come from NIL. and there are some changes coming to that depending how congress handles that.
