Brendan Sorsby’s $1M NIL Showdown Could Shake College Football to Its Core: What’s at Stake?
The now Red-Raiders QB argued that Cincinnati’s ‘NIL contract’ was just a guise, and that the money he got from Cincinnati as NIL was really payment for playing football. Sorsby said he was already paid $875,000 by his former program for these services. But since colleges ‘paying’ student-athletes would make them employees, Cincinnati treated the money as NIL. The QB also asserted that “in reality,” his “NIL rights have very little monetary value.” The contract only gave value to his NIL because it was “the only way the NCAA allows Cincinnati to pay him “for playing football.
