College Football NIL Expert REVEALS What Top Recruits Are Earning | Multi-Million Dollar Deals!!

How much are top recruits earning through NIL? On3's Pete Nakos takes us behind the scenes of some of the biggest recruitments in college football to find out what the market looks like for an elite recruit.

In this video:

1. Overview of NIL in College Football

The introduction of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules has fundamentally changed college football recruiting.
NIL allows players to earn money while still in school, leading to significant financial incentives for top recruits.

This shift has made recruiting more competitive, as schools now compete not just on facilities and coaching staff but also on the NIL opportunities they can offer.

2. Schools Paying the Most

Some of the wealthiest and most well-connected programs are leading the way in NIL deals, using their resources to attract top talent.

Schools like Alabama, Texas A&M, and Miami are often mentioned as some of the biggest spenders when it comes to NIL deals.

These programs leverage their large alumni networks, booster support, and connections with major brands to offer lucrative NIL opportunities to recruits.

3. Importance of NIL to Top Recruits

For many of the top recruits in America, NIL has become a critical factor in their decision-making process.

While traditional factors like coaching, playing time, and program success still matter, the potential to earn significant money through NIL deals can sway a recruit’s choice.

Some players are now prioritizing schools where they believe they can maximize their NIL earnings over other considerations.

4. Long-Term Implications

The video discusses how NIL might continue to shape college football, possibly increasing the gap between the "haves" and "have-nots" in the sport.

Schools that can't compete financially might struggle to land elite recruits, leading to further concentration of talent in a few top programs.

There’s also speculation about how NIL could influence not just which school a player chooses, but when they choose to enter the college ranks, with some potentially delaying their decision to maximize their earning potential
