I think we all understand how skewed this is. This appears to be a graphic to try and quell the words that these kids couldn't handle the money yadda yadda. How many student athletes are there? How many sports won't be affected by this? Football is holding 99% of the pot. Does anyone know if guys like JD Davison and other higher ranked basketball players have made deals yet?

@TerryP where did this data come from? Are student-athletes required to publish the info to the school or ncaa?

It's all D1 athletes included.

To the school, yes. NCAA, no.

It's just a data dump off of published records.

I'm sure football is the driver right now. Basketball will begin to warm up in October/November. Some sports (water polo, soccer, rowing, fencing, synchronized swimming) will drive the averages way down.

I might sponsor a women’s volleyball or soccer player, or 3.

Softball will drive UA's over a grand average. Last move goes back to paying ladies like Kretch...Haylie is fielding a lot on the pro side and she'll make some coin here

This data shows max D1 of $210,000. That does not align with what Saban stated about Young.

Unless he has a multi-year deal.

It's unclear if the numbers reported are total contract amounts or amounts received to date. If the latter, that would explain the difference.

Cumulative or just July?

Just July.

On a related note:

Did you guys catch where Walk-Ons has jumped into the NIL game? They're sponsoring, you got it, walk-ons.

Was it not ironic that a bar was sponsoring BYU's walkons?

Ahhh, ok. That makes more sense. I caught it in passing and just laughed.

It's still a little weird considering how the Mormon faith looked on caffiene (chocolate) although BYU started selling caffeinated drinks four or five years ago.

That's very true. Wasn't to the extreme I initially thought, but you're right, they are very detailed people with all aspects of the lives, so good point.
