Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “JJ McCarthy NIL deal” thing popping up everywhere, and honestly, I was kinda clueless. I mean, I follow college football, but the whole NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) stuff is still pretty new to me. So, I decided to dive in and figure out what the deal is with JJ McCarthy, the Michigan quarterback, and his NIL earnings.
First, I started with a simple search. Just typed in “JJ McCarthy NIL deal” and boom, tons of articles. It was a bit overwhelming at first, lots of different numbers and companies being thrown around.
I spent a good chunk of time just reading through headlines and skimming articles. I wanted to get a general sense of the situation before I dug into the specifics. I noticed a few recurring names – The M Den, Valiant Management, and a few others. These seemed to be the key players in his NIL deals.
Next, I focused on finding some more detailed articles from sources I trusted, like ESPN, The Athletic. I figured they’d have a better handle on the facts than some random blog.
I learned that McCarthy is one of the top earners in college football when it comes to NIL. It’s crazy! He’s got deals with several companies that are related to sports, such as clothing companies.
I dug a little deeper into the specific companies he’s working with. For example.
- The M Den-Seems like a pretty standard deal, selling merchandise with his name and image.
- Valiant Management-This one is interesting. They seem to be a group that helps athletes navigate the NIL world.
I then search their official website and read their offical introduction, it says Valiant is a sports marketing agency that represents University of Michigan athletes.
After reading all of this, I felt like I had a much better understanding of the whole JJ McCarthy NIL situation. It’s clear he’s making a good amount of money, and it’s also clear that the NIL landscape is still evolving. Who knows what it’ll look like in a few years!
Overall, it was a pretty interesting deep dive. I went from knowing almost nothing about JJ McCarthy’s NIL deals to feeling like I could actually explain it to someone else. It’s still a bit confusing, but at least now I have a better grasp on the basics.
