The stupidity of sports narratives on full display after this particular Super Bowl. Full glorification of Mahomes/the Chiefs and full “what went wrong” for the Niners. But literally one play about 14 different times would have changed the outcome, and the entire narrative.
Articles like this are exactly why I started @AthleteMetrix. Not only is this article full of misinformation, but it misconstrues what NIL is to a massive audience of people.
Brock Purdy made $870,000 this season and just got the 49ers to the Super Bowl.
22 college players earned more than him this year, even though most of them didn't do anything noteworthy in their respective seasons.
That's not okay.

We need to realize a vast majority of high school athletes won’t be receiving NIL compensation
It’s more critical than ever to get on NIL education NOW! It takes years to build a brand… start in high school and reap the benefits in the future
Our valuations at @AthleteMetrix are based on years of research conducted to estimate the media value of an athletes’ social profile. We don’t try to estimate the roster value of an athlete, but we help educate athletes on their market value and all of the metrics behind it.
Texas A&M AD Ross Bjork: "Why are we weaponizing the term NIL? Why not celebrate that? Whatever market has been created, our athletes are thriving in that market. Why are we saying this is a bad thing?"
