Having a high pro ceiling does not necessarily mean high earning potential from advertisers.
Baseball players with a "high pro ceiling" are a dime a dozen to the general public. MLB just has a lot more dimes than most. Do more than a few dozen MLB players have major endorsement deals?
How many college basketball players on ESPN are well known in the national stage? Has there been one since Zion?
I think athletes with big social media followings are going to do better than the athletes on ESPN currently.

The obsession of a subset of OWGs over college athletes paying taxes on their scholarship is a really bizarre thing
I have no idea because I stopped watching. But I’m sure Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Duhon, Sheldon Williams, and players form that era would have all made bank.
It is a progression 2&2, surely you have been around college sports enough to know that. I realize the last 10 years have jaded us tremendously but it will take time. Look at our basketball history in total.
These mostly seem to be from random companies. Are there gonna be like Nike shoe deals and stuff?
I don't believe you can sign deals that directly compete with an existing sponsorship at your school, so no, don't think you'll see any NIKE shoe type deals. Either the school is already a NIKE school (in which case why would NIKE decide to just an individual more money), or their apparel deal is with one of their competitors (Reebok, Under Armour, etc..), so an individual athlete wouldn't be able to sign a deal with NIKE in that instance.
