Where will the NIL chaos end? It's hard to say after Great Osobor's big payday, Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes.
Gordon Monson: Questions for Utah, BYU, Utah State and other schools swirl in the chaos of NIL payouts Utah State Aggies forward Great Osobor dunks the ball as Utah State faces San Francisco in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023.I broke a double-shot of personal rules with those two items: 1) Don’t start a column with a question; 2) Don’t start a column with a quote, especially a non-definitive one that says nothing.
Somebody stated the other day that the math, in many of these situations happening here, there, not quite everywhere, doesn’t work out. More than a few of these athletes are not/will not be worth what they’re being paid. My response was, it’s not a purely mathematical formula, at least not every time.
So why does the rich guy do it? He has his reasons, even if he’s not a collector who wants to turn the car into a garage queen and sell it later for even more than the ridiculous price he originally paid. Instead, he wants to get out and drive it, be seen driving it, and beat the daylights out of it.
Schools and their boosters don’t always get what they pay for. Some of these mercenaries aren’t as good of a talent or a fit as they seem. Some might get injured. Some might crumble under the new pressure that a big contract — or whatever the proper term should be called — brings.
