Carson Beck is getting paid a lot of money to play college football in Georgia. Not directly, because that would be a violation of NCAA legislature, but through Name, Image and Likeness opportunities.
Classic City Collective is one of the better NIL arms in the country. It is making sure that Bulldogs athletes are well compensated while in Athens.
Although financial agreements are not made public, instances in which the quarterback is not the highest-paid player on the team are rare. Elite quarterbacks are making anywhere between $750,000 and $2 million per year through NIL. Beck undoubtedly falls within that range.
Especially when non-cash agreements are involved.
Beck’s most recent deal may be included under that umbrella. He left Atlanta Autos with a brand-new Lamborghini Urus Performante earlier this week.
When asked whether it was an NIL deal, the dealership responded with a pair of laughing emojis. That doesn’t clear anything up. Beck’s new whip could be a lease. He could have bought it with his own money.
Either way, it ain’t cheap! The Perfomante model of the “Lamb Truck” costs no less than $270,000.
Regardless of whether Beck purchased his new Lambo outright or not, it is one of three rather expensive cars in his garage. He recently received an E63 from Mercedes Benz of Athens and already had a blacked-out Dodge Charger Hellcat.
Carson Beck is only 21 years old!
His decision to forgo the NFL Draft and return to Georgia for a fourth season was not tied to NIL money. The Bulldogs’ starting signal-caller chose to run it back because he wants to win a ring.
Even if it was not the driving factor in his decision, NIL is treating Beck very well. On3 estimates that he is worth approximately $1.5 million. However, his three cars alone get pretty close to that number!
