So we always hear and see these numbers thrown out for players. But there's no way to back any of it up (or know whether it's a number over one year or four). Anyway, a couple weeks ago Iowa coach Fran McCaffrey said something about Tony Perkins NIL value being a half million dollars. I was talking with someone last night who told me Perkins is telling his former Iowa teammates what he got at Mizzou and it's certainly not that much.

I don't want to put out specific numbers on specific players because they aren't verifiable and I don't really think it's fair to the players. But I think what he's telling his former teammates is probably quite accurate. If anything the number would be inflated, not deflated. Just a reminder when you see some of these numbers to put them through your bullshit meter.
