Marquette NIL Strategy

[MarquetteVol]

I saw a posting recently that Archie Manning, the back up quarterback at the University of Texas, is making three times the amount of salary as Brock Purdy, the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. This is due to NIL deals.

I wonder and honestly don't fully understand, if it's possible for the Marquette NIL program to focus on heavily funding, juniors and seniors who might be on the verge of going into the draft or other professional leagues? For example, if Tyler could come back to Marquette next year knowing there is a $3 million payday do we have a greater chance of retaining him  and our other core upperclassman? 

You'll never get a top 5-10 lottery pick to stay in school in extra year, but I believe that Shaka's system is going to produce a number of guys that may be pros after their third or fourth year. Is this a way to equitably ensure we have more continuity with the older guys?

Not sure MU has a Ted Kellner in there back pocket, but a fringe player makes around 450K on a two contract, so you offer more then that they may stay, heard Kolek makes more then that

[CountryRoads]

I don't think we'll see a day where NIL money is keeping potential first round picks in college for another year. Though I think it could make a difference in retaining fringe players like Justin Lewis and Vander Blue for another year. I think it's too early to tell where Kolek falls on that spectrum.

Kolek is making more than $450k?

As for giving guys crazy big pay to come back for another year, I would think $3m could used in a far better manner than that. I love seeing anyone have a big score but that might be excessive, even in my book.

[avid1010]

If Kolek is getting $450k+ MU is in great shape moving forward.  I haven't heard a number remotely close to that.

[4everwarriors]

Ah, my source sez both #11 and #1 are gettin' $300k, hey?

[MarquetteVol]

Agree that it's a strategy for the fringe players who are likely second round picks in the best case scenario. Even $500k would make it awfully hard to roll the dice if you're Tyler or Kam thinking about making the leap at the end of the year. It'll be interesting in the broader landscape if NIL results in more players using 3-4 years of eligibility especially at the power conference programs with deep pockets.

Are Kolek and Kam seriously getting $300k? What about Oso?

Google Tyler Kolek NIL.   Scroll

According to this Ty has earned over 700K.

The article does not say Tyler earned $770K; it says his marketing valuation is $770,000. And, the article specifically says that his actual income is unknown.

[Goose]

It is very to know what these guys are getting paid, there is NIL fund and then extra endorsements. I am pretty confident that no MU player is getting paid $450k by the MU fund, but have no idea how much the side hustles are bringing in. I cannot imagine being big money, but that is just my hunch.

If I had to make an educated guess, Oso and TK are the highest paid and would not surprise me if they are both getting the same amount. Kam is likely third on the list and the remaining guys well behind the top three.

I would be wildly skeptical of these claims. Unless maybe Arch's dad is still giving him a big allowance.

Manning, nephew of Peyton and Eli, grandson of Archie and son of Cooper Manning, will reportedly earn $3.2 million in NIL money this season as the backup quarterback for the Texas Longhorns.

Purdy, meanwhile, will be paid $870,000 for the 2023 season - over three times less than what Manning will make.

It's a whole new world out there with NIL.

And it's bot generated

I'm sticking with this statement:

"will reportedly earn" $3.2 million doesn't mean he has earned that or will earn that. More often than not, it means there's a potential in the contracts of that amount being earned, but those numbers are often unreliable.

I remember a Ben Steele article over the summer quoting Tyler getting around $5k for his first TKO Miller ad. I dont know how much who's on third is paying to promote a burger but it appears there is a large delta between the side hustle/ads and the NIL fund.

Free bar tabs at who's on third can go a long way

Depends on how good of a beer drinker you are.

Coming from a reliable source deep within UW......Creighton offered Chucky Hepburn $600K this offseason. The numbers are higher than one might think.....especially the older guys on here.

If true, I'm sure they'll have that same offer again after this season. They'll need a PG next year too.

[MU82]

$600K? That's nearly twice as much as Marquette paid me to stick around for my 7th year!

[marqfan22]

That was the market valuation of Arch. He has only done a trading card signing for about 100-200k

I'm sure they said Chucky had the opportunity to make 600K. Just like I have the opportunity to win the lottery.

Wasn't it Dawson Garcia that was looking at $1M in NIL? I'd be curious to see how much he actually got. I wouldn't be surprised if he barely cleared 6 figures.

It makes zero difference to me if you choose to believe it. I dont know how you are "sure" of anything on this topic.
