I'd agee, not worth that much, did any see a Real Woods "image" commercial etc? Its just a way to funnel money directly from boosters to athletes via the coach.
But some have got that much & 2x.
well that may depend ... let's say your NIL is with a local car dealership, that'd be hard to take with you but say Bryce Young's Dr. Pepper deal could go anywhere with him. Very few have a national image.
Pretty close after a wash & wax while still in high school, bought used and car sat outside all the time, didn't wash & wax so much in college so little bit of paint fade and chips on the mags but Turtle Wax Color Back ...
If recall correctly when Cael was at ISU we were at/going into a pretty good parity state where several teams had the ability to compete for team titles.
