Has anyone looked at the on3 NIL reported compensation by position group for the top 10 players at each position? It is interesting to see. Not sure how accurate this info is, but it kinds of paints a picture of what kids are getting thrown at them if they are elite. I could see where Clemson really needs a top DE, DT, QB, or OT in a class and they look at the funds (booster funds) they have and try to put together some deals to buy players. There seems to be a workable solution.
QB - 200K up to 1.3 Million NIL reported deals
RB - 200-400K NIL reported deals
WR - 200-600K reported NIL deals
TE - Up to 250K reported NIL deals
OT - 250K - 1.5M reported NIL deals
OG/OC - Up to 400K NIL deals
DE - 200-550K reported NIL Deals
DT - 200-550K reported NIL Deals
LB - Under 400K NIL Deals
CB - 200-500K reported NIL Deals
S - 200-500K reported NIL Deals
ATH - Under 250K reported NIL Deals
Ranked in order by highest to Lowest:
1. OT - 1.5 Mil
2. QB - 1.3 Mil
3. WR - 600K
4. DT/DE - 550K+
6. CB/S - Up to 500K
8. RB - 200-400K
9. ATH/TE - Up to 250K
If Clemson wants to remain in the elite level, we absolutely have to find sponsors in SC to for OT, QB, WR, DT/DE every year. I believe we can do fine in the less competitive spaces at CB/S/RB and TE without using the funds. However, every year we are going to need someone to commit 1-2 million every year for a QB, someone to commit 1-2 million for an elite OT, 1 million for 2 elite WR's, 1 million for 2 elite DT's, and another 1 million for 2 elite DE's. This would be in addition to the money for the kids already on campus and any portal guys we take on. Approving the college kids to pay extra for the sporting events each semester is going to really help to take care of some of these things. It is going to be interesting to see how much more money Clemson brings in from the performance bonuses this year, extra funds from additions of SMU, Stanford, and CAL, extra funds from ACCN, and extra funds if we make and do well in the post season. All of these things could really give us a major boost in the revenue department. We could start reallocating funds for NIL and others to internal projects (Coaches pay, facilities improvement, etc.). We could see all or most IPTAY and the NIL collective money go strictly to player acquisition as well as retention if we can fund our entire athletic program with the TV and bonus performance money.
