Nebraska’s Matt Rhule: ‘Good QB’ Costs $1-2M in NIL Deals in Transfer Portal

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule is one of the many coaches who will be scouring the transfer portal for players who can make immediate impacts next year.

However, Rhule knows that things are different nowadays, as he told reporters on Wednesday that he believes, “A good QB in the portal costs $1 million, $1.5, $2 million” in NIL deals.

Rhule is coming off his first year with the Cornhuskers, which didn’t pan out the way he had hoped after the team finished with a 5-7 record. One of the biggest issues he dealt with in his first year at the helm was inconsistent quarterback play, which explains why he’s eyeing the possibility of using the transfer portal to improve the position.
