I'm not at all familiar with collegiate sports in America, I've never even heard of NILs prior to reading this. I have to ask, do the numbers in this game match up to the actual money college athletes make in the US?

its between 1k to 10k on average, but some top athletes can have some insane numbers (Bronny James for example)

NILs are relatively new to college athletics as a whole (and fairly controversial among coaches). I based the numbers off of the high end, and then dipped them some based on the controversy around MC. Caleb Williams had made around 10 million USD. The more average number among top recruits tends to be in the

.Well, that amount still seems reasonable.
I imagine so. Our colleges already have brands they are sponsored by when we come in. So signing with another isn't even an option. And even then, the money you make off the school sponsors are regulated by the school board.
Damn! Before even going pro? That's insane. Doesn't that affect their eligibility?

Yeah, even before going pro. Though, as Cameo said, many don't ever see anything near seven digits. As long as everything is up to par and on paper, there's nothing effecting eligibility. The transfer portal is kind of a mess on its own, but with NIL and money becoming available to athletes, it's basically turned into a pseudo-free agency that exists in most pro sports in that players will just transfer to whoever's going to pay the most. I believe it does come with a penalty of missing games, but its minimal. There's some inner workings I'm not entirely privy to (which is also why I gloss over certain points that tend to be more superfluous than anything else.), like schools probably having X and X lucrative deals for the player if they come there. Kinda hard to say.
At the end of the day, most of them are there to play their three years in college and go pro. For now, at least. If the NIL money goes up like some expect it to, then you might see players stay longer instead of bombing/failing in a pro league.

Yeah, the very nasty and ugly part of sports. I'm no ingenue that doesn't know that money rules. But, it is UGLY as fuck. My nephew at 17 is earning more money playing Football (the real one) than his mother and father combined. Even now that he is home injured with a broken clavicle. The kid will be a millionaire before he's 20. Yeah, he trained since he was 5. Gave up his weekends, his vacations, but, even tho, it's too much money... too too much.
Peace
The alternative was the universities making those same millions off the names of their players. Player has a bad injury in college and they end up with nothing to show for it, unable to go pro, where the university already made bank. I don't think the new system is perfect--and Livvy Dunne making millions for a sport that doesn't even really -have- a pro version makes it clear it's about marketability as much as anything--but it's better.Yeah, the very nasty and ugly part of sports.

Had someone fill the remaining one that Cameo mentioned a few hours ago. Not sure why Patreon's showing that. Can definitely open up a slot for you, if you want.

Won't members of the Whale (Legend) tier be jealous, since they don't have an image on Patreon? Just kidding, my best wishes for this game .
.yeah ,when i tried o undestand this [bcs well for once im not american ,but not well familliar with all this culture]i try to rember the ''blue chips" movie ,and holy shit ,those endorsment can be pretty nasty when it come to a non avergae player,and also i think is depends on the university bcs i dont think someone playing fro navy or army can have the same kind of prices to someone playing for alabama or virginia....but like i say before im not well connected with the ncaa at all unless is god damn nfl i dont even know who is worth any type of need it to watch for him.....
FWIW, Blue Chips was from the pre-NIL days, when such endorsements/payouts were against NCAA regs and could get a player banned and a team stripped of its wins (but they happened anyway). As far as NIL goes, university matters to the extent that bigger universities tend to be more competitive and give a higher profile to their athletes (and get better athletes), but if an athlete has enough pull on their own (or a famous dad, like Bronny), that could conceivably make up the difference.
