Even the NFL talent evaluators strike out at an alarming rate. Big difference for them is that they still make their money back. Some of it may be a loss, but on the whole, even the worst teams are profitable. There is an overall ROI. For this NIL stuff, for the majority of the people funding it, it’s a complete loss. Even if your team wins, you’re unlikely to see a monetary return on your investment. If I give 100k to Kamari, I’m just SOL. He doesn’t help my team win any games, and does nothing to help replenish my account.
For a small market team in the MLB with wildly differing payrolls, that was the way to go. But, do we see UF as a small market team? I don't know the answer. Obviously we aren't the NY Yankees of College Football (like UTex or ATM), but are we the Oakland A's?
I think Condron is keeping us within range (not of the upper upper tier) but that's not sustainable. Only so long he can/will carry us
another Bama transfer with more potential than production. Across 2 seasons (true and redshirt freshman ) he got into 4 total games and had assisted and unassisted tackle totals of 5. So, 5 tackles in 2 seasons. Could become a player but so far has done zip.
