I wouldn’t call it chump change. Not every college player gets big time
Offers but some are paid quite handsomely. Plus, many are paid & will never make the NFL. I’m not sure how much Kyron Drones made, it was rumored to be 1 million. Do you think he’ll make an NFL team? Look how much Dukes QB was offered to leave Duke & play for UM?
I’d like to find a NIL sight, if they have one, that shows how much players are paid. I’d also like to know what the average non starter is paid? Is there a base rate these guys are paid to make the team?
Years ago it was rumored how walk-on’s were treated poorly by the scholarship players as suggested in the movie Rudy. I look forward to the next sports movie that depicts players feelings towards each other when one player is making a couple million yet is benched for a guy that is making chump change in comparison.
We could have it happen here next year at QB. I suspect Grunk was offered substantially more than the Bryce. I think when players start realizing the disparity in NIL amongst the team, hard feelings could arise. Especially, if you have one player making a few million who doesn’t pan out, while others making peanuts are excelling.
