Okay, so, today I was messing around with this whole “NIL” thing with Arch Manning. You know, the Name, Image, and Likeness deals that college athletes can do now. This Arch Manning guy, he’s a big deal in college football, and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I started digging into it this morning and, man, it’s a whole new world out there.
First, I just Googled “Arch Manning NIL deals” to get a general idea. It turns out this kid is ranked really high in terms of how much money he can make from these deals. They say he’s got the fourth-largest NIL valuation in all of college sports. His NIL valuation is estimated at $3.1 million, which is a crazy amount of money, right? It’s wild to think about it, just for being a college athlete.
My Deep Dive into Arch Manning’s NIL Deals
I was curious, so I went deeper. I spent a few hours scrolling through articles and social media posts. I learned that these NIL deals are basically endorsements and sponsorships. Companies can pay athletes to promote their stuff, use their image, or have them appear in ads. Like Livvy Dunne, the gymnast, is estimated to make like $4 million a year. I mean, good for her, but seriously, it’s crazy the sort of money involved here.
- Started Simple: I began with a basic search to understand what NIL deals were all about.
- Dug Deeper: Then I spent some time looking specifically at Arch Manning’s deals and his valuation.
- Explored Examples: I also looked at other athletes like Livvy Dunne to see how they’re cashing in.
After all that, I put together a little summary of what I found. Basically, Arch Manning is making bank because he’s good at football and he’s popular. It’s not just about how well you play, it’s also about how many followers you have and how recognizable you are. I even saw that another player, Ewers, is only four spots behind Manning in the NIL rankings. They’re all making so much money, it’s insane.
So, yeah, that’s what I did today. It was a pretty interesting rabbit hole to go down. These college athletes are making some serious cash, and it’s all thanks to this NIL thing. It’s a whole different ball game now, that’s for sure.
