THE LEGEND GROWS...
i believe what we are seeing is that the collective is primarily for paying players who can’t get individual deals. If you are a star like Brock or Stetson, you can command big NIL money individually. Collective money can go to fund a stipend for a position group like say, the offensive line. Obviously because the O-line is a big group, each player is going to get less, but everyone is getting something. There can be individual stars in just about every position group. Jordan Davis became a fan favorite as a DL, and they will be able to get individual NIL deals worth much more. But the rest of the group can get collective deals. Make sense?
Are you saying that, you are limited to an "either/or, but not both" decision?
If that's the case...Stetson Bennett did the same thing Bowers is doing...last year. If Bennett earned "over 1 million dollars in non-NIL money" in '21 and the rule is as inferred by me...then Bennett couldn't take money from the "Collective" last year...for the same reason Bowers can't take money from the "Collective", this year.
Where was the love for Stetson Bennett, when he did it. Lol...nevermind, Dawg Nation. We know.
I don't know how all this works. It's all changing so fast, it's hard to keep up. Especially, when ya don't really care. Lol
I didn't think they could put limits on the source and amount of income a player gets...as long as it's legal, obviously. Lol
Unless, maybe it's a "Collective" rule.
If that's the case...I completely understand why Bowers, did what he did.
Otherwise...Why not take the big(ger) chunk of money the "Collective" gives you...and distribute it among the deserving players, yourself. Get your money from non-NIL sources.
I thought i had a good grasp of the whole NIL deal, but the "collective" has me lost. I'd like to see an article on the "collective"; how does it use a player's Name, Image and Likeness?
