Men’s NCAA Scholarships explained
Thanks, Kensley.
I’d not understood the state of men’s scholarships in 2024.
- How NCAA scholarships work?
- Why does Stanford have so many top gymnasts?
- Why is the sport called men’s “Artistic” gymnastics?
- What are the top clubs in the US? …. And more!

Utah gymnasts – free Jeep Grand Cherokee lease
Those who worried NIL was a slippery slope, were right.
- Every student-athlete from those three sports — women’s gymnastics, and men’s and women’s basketball — will have the opportunity of receiving a free lease on either a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited Edition or a 2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn Night Edition truck.
- That is different than the football NIL opportunity announced in October in a couple different ways — only scholarship football players were offered the opportunity, while this deal applies to all athletes on the gymnastic and men’s and women’s basketball teams. Also, football players only had the Dodge Truck as an option.
- Lease and insurance costs will be covered by donations to the Crimson Collective for each student-athlete.
Also, … how do I transfer to Utah. 😀
NCAA proposes paying athletes
Recall those who worried that NIL was the start of a slippery slope?
They were right. 😀
BEST in my opinion would be for College Football to be affiliated with the NFL. Not any educational institution.
The proposal — outlined in a letter to Division I colleges today — would allow schools to enter into name, image and likeness (NIL) deals directly with their students.
The NCAA lifted its ban on athletes profiting off NIL deals in 2021, allowing them to earn money from outside parties — but not with colleges. …

NCAA NIL is a MESS
The 3rd year of NCAA NAME, IMAGE, LIKENESS (NIL) is underway.
Unsurprisingly, the rollout has been inconsistent and unfair.
According to a study by Opendorse, the leading athlete marketplace and NIL technology company, the NIL market should grow by 11.2% to a whopping $1.17 billion. And while that’s great for all student-athletes, the lion’s share of that money is flowing into the 65 Power 5 football programs. …
More than half of $1.17 billion spent on NIL will go to 65 teams in one sport, report shows
Some additional facts from NIL year 2 via The Upside:
- Deep-pocketed alumni superfans, also known as boosters, have created complex organizations and nonprofits to effectively use as slush funds to attract the top athletes to play for their alma maters
- A group of University of Iowa superfans, pays recent transfer quarterback Cade McNamara $600 an hour for various community-oriented tasks, like delivering meals to seniors and making visits to children’s hospitals
- Michigan State football players, are simply tasked with promoting their collective’s charity via social media, … some athletes to make as much as $25,000 per post.
- University of Utah’s Crimson Collective is granting every scholarship football player a new $61,000 Dodge truck — leased to each player
- average starter at a major football program now makes about $103,000 a year, according to Opendorse, while the average men’s basketball player with a collective deal earns $37,000
- “[The collective system is] a pay-for-play scheme disguised as NIL,” Big Ten Conference commissioner Tony Petitti said at a Senate hearing in October
HOPEFULLY, the beginning of the NIL era may be remembered as a short-lived period of unregulated mayhem. The IRS is increasingly cracking down on booster organizing.
More regulation is needed. And it must be enforced.
All that said, I support College athletes getting MORE of the billion$ made by the NCAA.
But it should be done more fairly.
Livvy Dunne was the highest-valued women’s college athlete as of 2022.
One downside of fame and money is the need for security.
