18 year old kids signing private jet deals. Sounds reasonable.

New Balance has a plant in Maine, where Cooper Flagg hails from.

They are one of the few companies that makes their shoes in the USA.

There should be nothing shocking about this.

It’s two completely different markets with completely different organizational structures impacting earning potential.

Not going to feel sorry for any of those players, especially since most (if not all) already in the NFL will also get a chunk of change in the House settlement as well.

We may a see a future where it’s more profitable to stay in college football and the removal of eligibility rules.
