How much $$$ will it take for a 2nd year of Gradey? $5,000,000ish for the face of college basketball?

i'm not going to click on that link. it might be a virus. but of course nil needs some rules and regulations and governing.

how long did you think this wild wild west atmosphere of doing business was going to last.


bring on the rules and regulations. and fix that transfer portal while they are at it.

$4,000,000 in NIL this season

[TDub]

I'm sure it will "level out".....so ridiculous

[ousdahl]

For real tho remember when Jalen and Dajuan were slinging frosties

They deserve every bit of that 4mil (imo). They make the school and a lot of other people a shit load of money, including Bill Self being the highest paid coach at over 9mil last year.

4 mil split between 6-8 guys isn't that ridiculous (imo).

How much does the AD get paid per year?

Here you go, I'll be the contrarian.
I feel they don't deserve shit other than an ALL expense paid trip (food, housing, clothing [yes - they get clothes to wear], tuition, medical care, travel expenses, etc. etc., etc.,) to play basketball for the University of Kansas as an AMATEUR STUDENT ATHLETE - and as "tuition" alludes to - a FREE college education.
All that would cost the average person around what? Maybe a hundred thousand dollars to get what they get for free.
"But but but it's not fair that people profit off of them".
My response, cry me a fucking river. What exactly isn't not fair about it? As I pointed out - they got reciprocated. Financially and in other ways.
They knew the deal before NIL and they all were happy to agree to it and had it pretty damn good. Besides, many/most also got "paid" too.

You, being a contrarian? I don't believe it.


The school isn't paying them NIL.

All those things you listed are things the school should and does provide.

The school doesn't have shit to do with whether JBL Audio is going to pay them for doing a commercial.

[pdub]

You were the staunchest of advocates for Self's connection to the Adidas shenanigans.
So then surely if you can connect the dots there then you can connect the dots to where the school employs people who direct that money.
Maybe the school doesn't directly pay them that money but does that make a difference at all? Employees of said school are meeting with collectives/boosters and regulating that money - they are getting paid to do that. I don't see the "ohhh GOTCHYA" that posters are trying to bring up when they say, "bUt ThE SChoOl ISnT pAYinG tHe PLAyeRs".

You also highly doubted that this kind of money would be in college basketball. You didn't think it would change much.

Here's a good quote.

"NIL doesn't taint the sport. It is separate of the schools. Win win imo."

LOL.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

It makes all the difference in the world, to me.

I do not want the schools paying the players. That's not what schools are for.
