This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm guessing it is temporarily inflated by NDAtty
Right now there is a media bump for big rights deals. Presumably that will fade and every NIL deal won't be the subject of various news stories and so it will be a bit less valuable.
I have no idea if this website is accurate, but it lists Ben Roethlisberger as having made $1 million in endorsements in 2020. I can see an established college star like a Trevor Lawrence being worth a lot, but I'm not sure there are going to be a lot of freshman coming onto campus worth $1 million deals.
Could be wrong though. Maybe because of his salary Ben doesn't care as much about getting every endorsement dollar. Maybe #1 or top 10 recruits are that lucrative. I'm guessing not, but time will tell.
