It makes sense why your information on all things NIL is completely wrong given your sources.

Not sure what you have against them, but I'm sure they hurt your feelings.

None of the other NIL discussions I've had here used information that came from there. They've never addressed it as it relates to basketball, as they don't cover basketball much.

But keep believing what you want. At least I'm referencing some source. You just don't think it's true because of YOUR evaluation of Mateer. lol

The Football Brainiacs. Straight from one of the guys that runs the site. And they don't typically BS around about stuff like that.

How do you know what he is worth? Do you know how much the Portal QB's were getting this year? Mensah and the Leavitt kid were approaching 8 figures. No way OU could have pulled a QB from the Portal worth a darn for less than $5M.

They're a joke bud

Ty Simpson was offered over $6M to return to college.

Chambliss is reportedly getting over $5M (I'm not arguing Mateer is better, just showing numbers).

Manning is getting at least $6-7M.

This isn't linear. They don't line the QB's up, rank them, and pay them straight down the line. Some are getting more than they are worth, some less.

I know some around here think he is terrible, but ESPN had Mateer in their top 5 draft eligible QB's at multiple times throughout the season and after. If he left for the draft, he had a legit chance at being a 2nd or 3rd round pick, at worst. Simpson is going to get taken in the first and I don't think he's a very good QB. It's a weak QB class. Maybe that factored into the raise. I have no idea.

It'll likely get leaked at some point. Just remember what I said when it does.

All of those guys are head and shoulders above baseball arm Mateer..

Brock Purdy was hyped as a 1st round pick by espn too (landry Jones was too - im a big Landry defender tho!)... and he went with the literal last pick. Espn isn't known for accuracy. They are shock jocks. For instance, Mel kiper isn't reputable at all. Hes a propagandist.

Can yall take this to the football thread?
