Agreed that it seems low. by PeteatND

And that’s probably because it’s not a traditional endorsement. Day one of the new NIL system? Let’s not fool ourselves: these arrangements, like almost all that will come in the future, are sweetheart deals with prominent university boosters. In fact, I’ll bet that very, very few of these deals will be made by anyone OTHER than University-affiliated executives/ownership.

None of them will look outwardly absurd; the Universities will insist on that. But the idea that they’ll be decided on through any kind of traditional market mechanism is crazy. Universities will be obligated to line them up with sympathetic donors to stay competitive in recruiting.
