The Scouton transfer highlights the possibility that athletic programs like Purdue (and IU) may further sink into a “farm system” status. The “cradle of QB’s” and “den of DE”s” may be the become the system that loses developed and “award winning” athletes to colleges with deep NIL pockets.
Here are a couple thoughts on how to “compensate” the developing & sending athletic program:
1). The receiving collective is required to compensate sending athletic program (or John Purdue style organization) for all the scholarship, housing and expense monies spent developing the athlete.
2). The receiving collective pays a commission to the sending NIL collective based on the receiving NIL first year only deal. Maybe an upfront payment 20% of their NIL deal for all athletes. The commission rate would go up as the NIL deal gets more lucrative (ie 33% for deals from $75k-$333k/yr, 50% for $333k+).
This model doesn’t hurt the athlete and allows them to operate in a capitalist way. It also puts resources back into the sending organizations to help them become more competitive.
Just my thoughts….
