The word is between $1,500 and $2,000 a month for his time at LSU (will be basically January 2022 to January 2023 as he only has one year of eligibility left) as part of the NIL deal plus a very nice vehicle! They basically contacted and arranged this deal thru his parents with an assist from a former HS Coach of Jarrick. This coms from a current player on the team. This is what OSU is up against, the vehicle deals can be easily accommodated through car dealerships via players doing ad spots etc… but the cash payment is a whole other animal.

Well as UT showed, all you need to do is set up a fake charity, and have him make an appearance a month at a local hospital and pay him the stipend to do that.

Unfortunately we're going to have to take the low road and start matching these offers. Create the Pistol Pete Charity, and do the same thing. We supporters can contribute and they can pay it out to any or all players as they have resources to do so. $18-25k is not that much that you couldn't get in that ball park for at least your first 50 guys or so.

Are our players regularly getting cars now? I saw the tweets where Bryce Thompson did back in September, but haven't heard if others had been taken care of.

Unfortunately this is the world we know live in with NIL, the vehicles aren't really that difficult to procure because you have the player or players do a few promo ads or a couple of appearances where they sign posters, hats etc… plus the cars are usually on a lease basis with the only out of pocket costs gas and insurance but even the insurance can be arranged for. The cash payments will be done as you said through some fake or fictitious charity or foundation or whatever you want to call it with boosters providing the funds to cover the cost of dispensing the cash. The first thing they really need to do is put a limit or cap on how much is doled out so that most Power 5 schools can at least have a fighting chance with the Texas and Ohio State and Alabama's of the world, basically a "salary cap" welcome to the brave new world!!!!!

Well the only way to do that is unionize the players, because without a union in place to negotiate a cap on earnings there is no way to cap it.

At some point the schools will just have to end the craziness and go to a club level of play and be done with it. Let the NFL/NBA/NHL do their own minor league work.

The end result is probably very little women's athletics and all these kids that are now making 6 & 7 figure salaries riding buses in the minors making 40k a year.
