Lane Kiffin humorously critiques Miami’s investment in Carson Beck, questioning the team’s evaluation of his performance.

Carson Beck’s departure from Georgia to Miami this summer created a number of ripple effects as word of his $4 million NIL package helped reset the market once again for quarterbacks.

Kiffin was the latest guest on “The Pivot” podcast, and when the hosts brought up Beck’s NIL deal, Kiffin could not help but poke fun, questioning if they had observed his game against Ole Miss from the previous year.

“Miami gave him $4.3 million? Did they watch his game against us?” — Lane Kiffin

He continued by describing how he doesn’t blame players for seeking financial gains, emphasizing the current climate in college football with unregulated NIL opportunities. Beck is now looking to reclaim his value in the 2025 season with the Hurricanes under increased scrutiny due to the substantial investment made in him.
