Roman Wilson on the parity in NIL deals
Hardly in anyone’s imagination the ‘most interesting thing’ from Michigan would be the news of their WR being crestfallen over its team’s NIL report not being up to par. The odds were as mighty as the northern sea, with their head coach getting suspended twice, and the infamous sign-stealing debacle, and yet the team snatched the No. 1 spot and a place in the all-important Rose Bowl. However, student-athletes have trouble feeling accomplished despite all this. The podcast host mentioned Wilson’s condition ahead of the Rose Bowl “was disappointing”.
“Roman Wilson talking about Michigan’s NIL, which we had a report on today, is not quite up to par,” reported the host. Additionally, when Wilson was asked about how he felt, he replied, “You know it’s not good enough compared to some of the what my friends are making at other schools. It’s not like we’re getting paid monthly checks and things like that like we’re hearing at other schools,” exasperated Wilson, bringing another crucial issue to the public’s notice.READ ALSO:

However, the magnitude it will hold yet remains questionable. On the other hand, Wilson sure deserves some credit, as despite being comparatively well-off in terms of NIL himself, he spoke up for his teammates.
Roman Wilson’s NIL deals
Per On3 valuation, the Michigan WR has a valuation of $497k, with his college football NIL rank being #104. Wilson bagged 3 NIL deals this season, with the M Den, with Accelerator Active Energy, and with the Champions Circle.
Wilson’s guts to speak up against the system with the Rose Bowl ahead of them is quite a confident move. Although its impact on his performance in the New Year’s game remains questionable.
