The following info was provided by Mike Poorman on StateCollege.com:
"All of Penn State’s scholarship football players are in NIL deals with the Happy Valley United collective, guaranteeing each player a minimum of $25,000-plus, beyond an additional $11,000 a year from Penn State in cost of attendance and Alston money. Plus, there’s that “perk” called a full ride."
I'll save you the trouble of Googling Alston money:
The NCAA lost the Alston case 9–0 in the Supreme Court, requiring the association to allow schools to distribute as much as $5,980 a year to athletes in education-related compensation.
All in all, not a bad payday for an "amateur", lol.
NIL is not NIL, that's the problem. All scholarship athletes are getting pay for play, no one is paying the 3rd string lineman for his image.The following info was provided by Mike Poorman on StateCollege.com:
