Well, other side of the coin is an 18-year-old is making a massive, 7-figure income. Say he flops ... he still got $4 million dollars. He can get his degree and then work 25 years and not make that much.
But, yes, giving a kid $9.5m in Miami Beach of all places ... what a world. And, it's not like it's the schools' money. The mega boosters are going to become so powerful at these schools because you can't buy these kids now unless you have millions and million to offer them.
I loved when Jordan Addison (former Pitt star now at USC) entered the portal. His Mom said not to even call if the offer was under $3.5m. That may have been a bargain for one year.

Oh, some will get the money, all right. And likely some of the o-linemen who help these kids shine will get a lot less. I'm fine with contributing a few hundred bucks to Ship each year and getting senior passes to the football and basketball games.
Every OL they sign 4 stars and above gets an unofficial contract for $65,000 per season as long as they stay on scholarship. The 5-stars get much more.
Get paid while you can. Blow out a knee and these programs kick you to the curb.

Routine flight from Rutgers to Los Angeles to play a volleyball game. LOL.
Academics come first. Wink.

I am really hoping one of two things happen:- The NCAA wises up and makes college football conferences a completely separate entity from all-sports conferences.
- The P2 separates completely from the NCAA system

With the vast difference in financial assets between, say, the Top 30 and everybody else ... getting like MLB. The Yankees and Pirates shouldn't be in the same league.
I wonder if "D1" eventually becomes the P2. The next tier becomes essentially 1-AA (the Pitt's, Boston Colleges, etc., of the world). The MAC types become D2. We become D3 and the current D3 becomes D4.
