I don’t think so. May be wrong though

Seems like he’s been gone for years. Like 4 years ago. I don’t remember guys leaving for NIL until a couple years ago.

I researched and it says.

The NCAA began allowing student-athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) on July 1, 2021:

Was the start of the downfall of college athletics imo

250,000 dollars per player to play college basketball seems pretty steep.

Don't know the details, but a coach can tell a player how much they going to get paid to play?

Seems like the players need a contract to prove that.

They stopped the collectives for the most part because of this. The clowns running them were paying themselves way more than that. Then wondering why money went dry. To get good players is way more than that. Arizona got caught paying players a lot of money before it was legal.

In a conversation with Terry Mohajir at a basketball game, he said some of the players from the opposing team were making way over 6 digits easy. I think it was an SEC team.

cheaper than football. if i had $2m to spare every year, i'd buy ucf a team because that would be the best bang for the buck. while football is the big dog, a basketball national championship still means something.

6 figures is for regular players. Good ones need 7.
