$2 million? Damn ... that's nearly double what Ners got back in the day!

It would be interesting to know how much Penny offered Kam.

Quote from: Big Papi on December 03, 2024, 09:28:04 AMThis guy says Kam is minting 2 million cash in NIL value and is second overall on his list.  Who knows if it is true but good for Kam.  His play has been at another level this year.

Yup the article is click-bait but they are getting info from On3.  No idea if On3 is legit or not, accurate or not but they do have Kam's nil valuation in top 10 in all sports.  On3 breaks down how they come up with their nil valuations on their website. 

Point I am taking out of this is Kam is viewed very highly nationally and is probably getting paid some real nice coin that I was not expecting.  Great for Kam and great for MU.

On3's crap is made up nonsense. Kam is a guy with high preseason accolades and has been playing great for #5 in the nation. That's the reason he's where they list him. It's nonsense.

If you say so, good to know.  I think all of those reasons you listed are reasons why he would be getting some good cash.

Ah you beat me to it. This is what their "proprietary algorithm" is based on:

Performance: Performance is determined by how the athlete performs on the field. Big games against key opponents, becoming nationally ranked and winning national awards will have the most impact on an athlete's valuation. Participation in college sports is weighted heavier in most cases than those that participate at the high school level.

Influence: Influence is determined by the athlete's own social media authority. Social media followers, reach and engagement are the primary factors that determine influence.

Exposure: Exposure is determined by several factors including whether the athlete is in high school or college, which school the athlete attends and their position. Athletes that attend universities with a larger fan base and media attention are likely to see a positive impact on valuation. Athletes who play a position with higher visibility (ie. quarterback vs. center) are likely to see a higher valuation.

Deal Data: On3 collects and verifies athlete deal data from numerous sources, including athletes, coaches, collectives, agents, and player representatives as the foundation of Roster Value.

I think I read somewhere on their website that 90% of their valuation algorithm is based on performance which makes sense why Kam's value is so high. He is not getting that kind of money but he bet on himself and the University and now hopefully he reaps the benefits.

I have not been able to pay close attention to Scoop during the offseason--were there rumors or reports that Memphis made a play for Kam?  If I remember right, they didn't recruit him hard out of HS, right?

Define rumors?  To the best of my knowledge, no reputable source ever indicated that there was ever any contact between the two parties.  I remember people suggesting that Shaka should blow up his entire culture and start playing the bag drop game because other schools (i.e. Memphis) were and Kam could arguable make more $ there.

I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

The Sultan

I believe Kam's mom tweeted something very early in the off season dismissing any rumors that he was looking at playing anywhere but Marquette.

There has not been one accurate NIL number on this entire thread.

Kam was always trying to play elsewhere then Memphis.

So there was never a chance of "oh now the hometown team wants me"

I heard Kam was considering leaving for more money after his sophomore season, but the MU faithful came up with the $$$ to keep him.  I also heard Kolek was over $1 million.  This is from former players.  They felt MU had the $$$ to compete.

Shaka has said players take less to play at MU.

I'm not convinced anyone knows what the reality is...

Like they used to say in the old Master Card commercials, the time you were able to spend with her at the games was priceless.
