Even if he "only" gets $2 million we have several other players who will demand $500k - $1 million. New 4* recruits want $300k. It's mind boggling.
BTW, why would we even want 105 players on the roster?
FC: Singleton and Allen to return?

It hasn't been set up yet; the settlement, once in effect, will have a profound impact on college football. It's not going to be business as usual; once the NLI has been replaced with a 'contract', there will be financial implications for transferring before it's end - in short, will give schools some recourse to the willy nilly attitude many players have about staying committed to a school. Sure, there will still be NIL bagmen and attempts at pay for play, but given this is a COURT ORDERED SETTLEMENT - it should have more teeth than regular old NCAA rules/regulations, which were heavily in favor of schools/coaches. For some programs (Texas, OSU, Oregon, A&M, Tennessee, Michigan), it maybe won't matter much. But, schools that don't have unlimited NIL resources will count on the revenue sharing to keep them afloat and transfers/portaling is tied to it. The good news is this will hopefully further even the playing field and will penalize these players who tranfer every year without penalty.
I know nothing but I struggle to believe Beau is getting more than Drew.
I have also seen reports of 1.9 million. However, all reports use language like " an estimated value of...."
This leads me to be skeptical and also to surmise that it includes things like use of an automobile, clothing, other merchandise etc.So I wonder how much is cash.
