Try $4.1M

Apparently Coleman wasn't a fan of Tech so they went HUGE

Granted that number is just a rumor

---

That's absolutely insane, and tells you all you need to know about Tceh. Lubbock is a ****hole and ttu is a second-rate institution so they have to money-whip players to go there. These players chasing the biggest bag are just prostitutes providing an entertainment service. Good luck to them.

---

If you build a championship contender who's consistently in the mix, it doesn't matter where it is, whether Lubbock or otherwise. And should they ever get to that point, they'll attract talent inherently.

But in the interim, while they're still trying to build it up....they've gotta do whatever they can attract and land em, and overpaying is part of it....especially if they're trying to expedite the build up.

$4.1M? Didn't they pay like $5M for Sorsby?

So is there a cap or not? Why not just pay 10 absolute studs 5M per and end it.

---

There is a cap on revenue-sharing ($20.5M for each school for 2025-2026 for all of its athletes), but not on NIL deals. However, any NIL deal that an athlete receives has to be for a "valid business purpose". In other words, you can't just funnel $10M to an athlete without having them do something for you in return (like act as a spokesperson for a company, promote a product, etc.).

All NIL deals over $600 have to get approved by the College Sports Commission. This all gets shaky though because the CSC's actual oversight of these deals has seemed pretty minimal so far, so nobody really knows if the money going to some of these athletes is by the rules or if John Does are over here setting up LLCs and shelling out bags of money without a valid business purpose.

"...approved by College Sports Commission...." is a huge maybe

There is no cap

Las Brisas is really good.

This must be their go to place. My most recent visit a few months back on a work trip I saw Jacob Rodriguez (star Tech LB) there with some booster. We were a few tables over. The whole thing looked a bit awkward, but of they're paying them you obviously show up.

We would and will absolutely match a $2 million offer for Cam

100% agree, but we won't overpay at $4.1M which is detrimental to other needs and the team.

Tech (and Cody C) see the same '26 schedule they have and also know there is a short window before this all comes to a halt with a CBA or some other guardrails.

Yes, there's no cap on NIL deals, but there is for revenue sharing, which some of these athletes seem to be getting as part of their total package. The NIL portions of the deals do actually get approved. The CSC had approved 8,300 of them as of September. Whether or not they are actually reviewing each deal in detail or just rubberstamping them is another story.

I agree...there is no cap

Seems like the CSC has the potential for massive corruption as all things NCAA have always had.

CSC blanket approves all deals for School A but rejects most for School B.

Just so happens CSC approver went to School A and School B is their rival.

i was first excited about NIL - i was thinking these guys would get some money so as to actually be able to get a vehicle, go on dates, eat out some, etc. - never dreamed it would get to millions! its just crazy!

Give everyone on this board a billion dollars, and you don't they would throw 5 million a year at their favorite portal player?

Cam Coleman's agent is a Texas and Nebraska alum

Anyone know what these agents make on these deals?

Jbob04 said:

Several threads on cam already and it was known he was visiting tech

But did we know he was at Las Brisas?!?!?!

I have heard from different podcasters/reporters that it is like 20-30%

vander54 said:

If the rumor is true it would be VERY hard to ignore that kind of cash.

Absolutely you couldn't ignore it. And it won't hinder his path to the pros. If the money is true then I'd say good chance the case is closed

Follow up question...how does one become a sports agent at 45 years old?

Law Of The Quad said:

Cam Coleman could be poison as he reminds me of a Jimbo recruit, a Wally Nolan type guy.

Tech is trying to buy a ring as is everyone else.

---

Not sure what this means? Not pushing back just not sure what personal attributes that are in reference.

He's going to turn down 4.1 million to go somewhere else. That's tech, and Lubbock. Wait and see.

Ya he's going to take $5 million and go to Texas

Not a WR worth that, so I hope they overpay..

I'll be happy to have him if Elko thinks he's worth that, if he doesn't I'm good there too.

How to you qualify what a player is worth? Don't tell me market value..

In college sports, you don't have to certify. There are NO barriers to entry right now.

Coleman will visit Alabama this weekend. He left Lubbock without taking their offer.

Alexa, what is something worth.

Things are worth what people are willing to pay.

Thank you Alexa.

With Simpson going pro not seeing Bama as a real threat.

They absolutely are.

" He left Lubbock without taking their offer."

Tceh has to significantly exceed offers from other schools in order to close the deal. We don't need to fixate on Cam Coleman if it causes us to miss other players we need.

Main thing is to find a burner that can take the top off the defense. Doesn't necessarily need to be a former 5 star. Mario Craver wasn't a big star when we signed him.

Wasn't there a poster that said he had a friend that was friends with Campbell and it was a done deal? On this board l, it seems Vader is right more than anyone. Hat tip brother

And he gets food poisoning from Las Brisas, can't make this **** up.

How are these deals structured? When someone gets a $2 million NIL deal is that $2 million for just the next season or is that a total based on some expectation of multiple years? Are there any performance clauses attached or it just $2 mil whether you play good, bad or not at all? These dollar amounts are just insane.

---

I think it should have clauses for payments dependent on staying with the same program, playing in the post season is required, and plays completed.

Make this kids earn it and don't pay it out- it should be in a trust or fund they get upon milestone goals reached.

Bowl season would be legit then.
