Josh Pate On Teams Paying The Most NIL Money (Late Kick Cut)

Published 2022-12-14
NIL has become synonymous with College Football recruiting, and with National Signing Day approaching Josh Pate took a question from a viewer on Late Kick Live Ep 340 about which teams are paying the most to recruits via collectives. Could it be that things are not necessarily as they appear on the surface regarding how big these offers are? How many recruitments could come down to accepting more on the front end versus potentially sacrificing long-term value on the back end?

  • The fact that a recruit straight out of high school can get paid 6 figures play there a year and then transfer to another school is going to force colleges to implement contracts which will really turn college football into a 2nd NFL. Whether that’s a good thing or not it will take a few years to find out.

    I think Texas A&M learned a valuable lesson with that #1 recruiting class they had. Half of them are now in the transfer portal. Finding the young men who have good character and are a good fit for your program is just as important, if not more important than finding the most talented ones.

    Something that gets lost in this NIL game is that the States that have no income Tax should have an advantage. TN, FL, TX, OK have zero state income taxes. That means something
  • I honestly can't say I thought about the fact that a kid could come out of high school and finesse one of these colleges out of a lot of NIL money upfront and then transfer to another school next year. I wonder how much money that's costing Texas A&M this year?
  • Not hatin but OSU’s pulled more top caliber WRs than any team in the nation….there’s a reason: 💵
  • Answer his question directly first with a top 10 list 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
  • Any kid who specifically chooses one school over another solely due to NIL money will rarely pan out. Comfort is the #1 enemy to success. Prior to playing a single down for a school, if that kid is already able to purchase a large percentage of the things he’s always wanted, he’s rarely going to work out. The only ones who will work out on those situations are the ones who are wise beyond their years (there’s not many of them).
  • Josh correct me if I'm wrong on this but it is my understanding that NIL deals cannot be tied to playing at a school so even if you had a backloaded contract you could still transfer and get paid for that contract while getting another deal with your new school.
  • Really interesting video! I'm glad student-athletes are getting paid, but I think the system still needs a few more tweaks.
  • @rockytoptom
    The irony here is that the title alone perfectly exemplifies the problems with college sports
  • This felt really close to home, Iowa fan here hoping Proctor stays with the hometown school
  • It won't happen right away but in the long run nil and transfer portal will be the downfall of college football. I believe if you get an n i l deal you shouldn't get a free ride scholarship you should have to pay for it.
  • The transfer portal needs to be fixed and Nil money how do u fix. First I would only allow transfer portal after two years of eligibility for same team and Nil no upfront money until u prove it on the field. Why pay for unknown talent a tier system should be set up end of first year u get this and second year u get more u have to have some system otherwise college coaches are running circles to get recruits.
  • @daGO_BLUE
    The same teams who have always been the highest bidders in their nil program regardless of nil was legal or not
  • @nickpoly48
    I think one issue that you may start to see with the NIL along with many other issues is. Once a kid has that contract, they don’t grind on the field in college like they used to when they had to make a name for themselves to get paid in the NFL. I know it won’t be all players, but that’s why I enjoy college more than Pro’s Once they get that bag it seemed like even fewer still tried as hard.
  • @justinbt
    Paying NIL and offering NIL are two different things. And for some reason, the average fan can’t tell the difference. It’s par for the course in modern athletic contracts. You’re rarely getting your full contract.
  • Most players will not get much if any NIL$. The few that do may . be subject to extortion, as in - star QB, you want pass protection, that will cost you. Star running back, you want wide running lanes, perhaps you might think of tips for the hard working O-line that can make it happen if they are properly motivated.

    It's not teams paying the money. It's area businesses.
