Eh, it's chump change now only because Bama doesn't send many DEs to the NFL. We have more than twice as many DEs there now that are getting paid better. Even after the NFL we've got Bama beat big on alumni salaries. We're Top 5 in D1, about 25th among all universities, while a Bama degree is paying like 450th among all universities. Really the only thing Bama offers that's better is a chance at a national championship.
Basically, this was not Keon’s decision, it was those around him. Matt Freeman believes that if it were up to Keon he’d be at ND.
Will Anderson will be a top 5 pick and Dallas turner will be a first rounder.
Unfortunately, not all parents are completely unselfish when it comes to their kids well being.……and if you’re throwing money into the mix we all know how that will influence people.
Yeah 750k 1 mill is chump change. And it's a guaranteed National Championship for Bama in a four year span. ND has almost zero chance at one, because players like him slip away. What's the pay difference a year for the same major between the 2 degrees? One has work a lot of time to make up the difference to get to around 1 Mil even with an ND degree.
I doubt they're gonna invest that NIL. Most people probably pay off their home, buy a couple cars, and blow the rest of frivolous things.
Also, let’s not forget the BS his high school coach pulled by “shutting down” any contact with Keon. Pete Sampson literally flew to Tampa to watch him practice this spring to write an article and he wasn’t “allowed” to interview Keon.
Yeah, cause a parent and uncle stearing a kid to take money are going to tuck that entire bag into a mutal fund to gain interest. They definitely don't want a piece of it and also have a very sound understanding of the tax implications and obligations to the parties purchasing his NIL rights.
Well, if ND DEs are getting paid better right now and they're getting to the league more often, then that's covering some of the lost NIL cash already. If we're talking just the degree, an ND alumni is averaging almost $17,000 more a year starting out and by mid career they're making almost $45,000 more a year. Your mileage will vary since those are averages, but if you're putting say...an ND business degree against an Alabama football major I'd guess the numbers are even more favorable. Gotta remember those numbers are for all grads, a Kinesiology degree from a football factory isn't worth much.
Absolutely, even if he invested 500k of it @ a measly 12% percent in 20 years that's almost 5 Mil. I bet lower than 1%of ND alumni, who didn't have a trust fund when they were born weren't worth 5 Mil at 38.
You're assuming that people struggling with bills have financial advisors and know how to invest wisely.
Even at 45k a year more it equats to 22 years of work to get to a theoretical 1 mil more than an Alabama degree. Math doesn't favor the ND degree at all in these NIL scenarios.
Fuck that aisle
That’s ridiculous. Tampa to Tuscaloosa is an eight-plus hour drive. You can get to South Bend faster than that on an airplane. And yeah Ohio State.
Bama site says distance played a factor
I hate when reporters just blow smoke. You’re Alabama forget the NIL stuff, you don’t need BS excuses. He’s taking a OV to Columbus, Ohio in a few weeks
BK got tired of chasing 5 stars because they rarely panned out, even if they did sign and come to campus. Gotta be frustrating after awhile. I got pretty jaded about recruiting myself after following it closely for so many years. There will always be limitations at ND.
"Uncle"
Why can't he invest the extra $45k a year too? You're assuming he can invest the $500k and not the extra gains by having an ND degree, and again...it's $45k on average. The average Bama alumni probably makes more than their football washouts that don't make it to the NFL (Not saying Keon will be in that boat). On the flip side ND's roster is often loaded with business students. The gap is probably wider on paper.
