Here's an article about Spyre and NIL
theathletic.com
"If you would have asked us four to five months ago, we might have said we want to try and raise 3 million, 4 million, 5 million annually. Now, the goal is 25 million annually... We think that goal is absolutely attainable..If this is how the game is played, then game on."
"We're prepared to invest a substantial amount of resources into the 2023 recruiting class... well into the seven-figure category."
"Tennessee signed seven of the nine class of 2022 prospects Spyre Sports had significant conversations with during the recruiting process."
"We realized how much money we were going to need to be elite.. and we're shooting for number 1."
"Some are payable for multiple years, but packages like the ones Spyre helps arrange for players are routinely for more than six figures."
"[Spyre] has enlisted the help of a Washington, D.C. political fundraise it connected with via Heath Shuler."
" 'They've taken the right approach, which is to get the right people involved and engaged, and they've done that from the fan standpoint to the high diners,' Said Shuler."
"We want players to see through social media if you come to Tennessee, they're going to have a nice car, going to have a nice apartment."
"We feel like the quarterback at Tennessee can make as much money as anywhere in the country. If you go out and replicate the season Hendon Hooker just had, there's no reason why at the end of the day in deals we do and other companies do or national brands, the quarterback at Tennessee shouldn't make seven figures a year... Out of respect for Hendon, it's probably inappropriate to discuss specific dollar amounts, and we don't want our competitors to know what we're doing, but I promise what Hendon has been presented with has been substantial."
If we execute, Tennessee will be able to close the talent gap with teams like Georgia and Alabama a lot quicker than the previous model, where you had to build a program back slowly."
Thank you @SpyreSports !
Cars, apartments and 'six-figure packages': Inside the new, money-fueled frontier of the college football arms race
While money has always fueled college football, that fuel is now going in a brand-new engine. And the price is only going to rise.
