Coach of Liberty Football Says LSU Spent More Than $300,000 To Get A Star Wide Receiver For His Program
Name, Image, and Likeness permanently altered the college football environment. That’s not brand-new information. Even if NIL has been generally advantageous in many respects, the last two or more years have been nothing short of chaotic, and it remains the primary cause of all the growing problems inside the sport.
Coaches at schools that aren’t USC, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, etc. are therefore at a disadvantage. After the season, athletes who have had breakthrough seasons at lesser institutions use the portal to move to a larger school in order to receive a higher financial offer.
It is usually a no-brainer to get paid more to play at a superior program.
Consider C.J. Daniels, a wide receiver at Liberty University. During the previous season, he caught 55 passes for 1,067 yards and 10 touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound pass-catcher, who still had two years of eligibility left, went via the transfer portal three days after the Flames’ Fiesta Bowl loss.
Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell claims that LSU invested a significant sum of money to secure Daniels’ commitment. He informed Ross Dellenger that a NIL deal easily in the six-figure range was offered by the Tigers to his former receiver.
