Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule, like other college coaches, understands the importance of finding a solid quarterback to lead a winning program.
Due to the newly developed marketplace established by NIL collectives, securing a ready-made quarterback out of the transfer portal now comes at steep price tag. On Wednesday, Rhule delivered a public service announcement to reporters as a reminder on how expensive an elite signal-caller can be.
“Make no mistake: a good quarterback in the portal costs $1 million to $1.5 million to $2 million right now,” Rhule told reporters, per The Athletic‘s Max Olson. “So just so we’re on the same page, right? Let’s make sure we all understand what’s happening. There are some teams that have $6-7 million players playing for them.”
