No matter the school...
There wont be "quite a few" above 600k. It is national news every time a player makes that kind of deal. Every single time its a qb. So unless by "quite a few" you mean like 8 total in all of college football, then yes.
Taxes is and has always been the weakest argument against NIL. Not a single athlete in college sports would rather go back to the old model rather than pay taxes...no one is scared of taxes.
These kids are supporting their families, having children, going to class, getting degrees, training at the highest level to win games and you think they will choose to give it all away because of taxes?
Currently my employer does not allow a side income. But if they did and they came to me and said "you can have a 2nd income, but youll have to pay taxes on it" I would say "duh" and the issue would be over. Somehow fans have clung onto taxes as though its some sort of deterrent to making money for individuals who were making zero dollars for the last century.
I cant believe this is still a discussion point...
