Some numbers on the numbers that college football players are collecting…
The New York Times identified more than 120 collectives, including at least one for every school in each of the five major college football conferences. The average starter at a big-time football program now takes in about $103,000 a year, according to Opendorse, a company that processes payments to the players for the collectives. This year, Opendorse said it expects to process over $100 million in payments for athletes, with about 80 percent coming through collectives.
Read the rest. The fact that players are getting paid is good, but the system has generated chaos and its own set of perversities. It’s really the Wild West out there right now.
