Interesting article on what Brock Purdy makes in annual salary compared to what some college athletes are making in NIL. First off, his salary comparatively is absurdly low. Second, assuming the article’s numbers are correct, where does Colorado come up with that kind of NIL money? And finally, hmmmm, coach’s son? $4.7M? Really?? NFL star Brock Purdy made $870,000 this season — 16 college football players made more from NIL
Purdy was drafted last, Mr Irrelevant, in his draft class. His contract fits his draft position per the negotiated CBA. He has out performed it obviously and most likely get a new one. He probably makes millions in NIL around the Bay area. As far as how much college players are getting, you can directly point the finger at the boosters/fans that are ponying up the money.
