So, I’m bored sitting on surveillance and googled ND’s new contract. It appears that ND’s total compensation which includes monies received from their ACC deal will put ND in the number above, that’s the range I’ve seen every estimate so far.
That’s a lot of money but teams like Rutgers, Indiana, Maryland, Purdue, etc. will garner a minimum of $80 million to a maximum of $105 million for the B10 media deal that’s now been finalized.
let’s say ND’s is $70 million total and B1G members are $95 million. In five years that is $125 million more!! That’s a substantial amount of money. I just don’t see ND leaving that kind of money on the table long term.
With coaches like Ryan Day, Harbaugh, Sarkisian, Cristobal, etc calling for their universities to institute large funds for NIL the media $$$ seem even more important now. I’m in Cbus and Day said he is trying to get at least a $13 million agreement for NIL, and many are saying it could go as high as $25 million.
let’s face it, while Bama is a tremendous football institution, they basically bought Keely from what I’m reading. It appears he has 7-10 “sponsors” lined up at Bama already.
I know this has been beaten to death. Folks will misconstrue and think I want ND in a conference, I DO NOT, but I also think remaining a viable competitor at the top of CFB is more important than independence.
I know Freeman is talking a lot about NIL but it seems the University needs to realize how important it is. It seems incomprehensible that ND with NBC and virtually all its games being nationally televised can’t secure major $$ for its athletes.
Its like the QB situation, I can’t figure how a team of NDs reach and exposure can’t secure a highly coveted QB every year but other top 10 programs are literally stacking 4-5 of them on their rosters? Hopefully that’ll change under Freeman, we can keep Carr, and secure another most every year but for two decades it’s been extremely disappointing IMO.
