What's the word on Garcia?

I spoke with a friend in Arizona athletics yesterday. He said a certain transfer recruit that went off to an ACC school told the staff that the school had "guaranteed" at least $600k in NIL benefits, which is why he chose them.

From what school did they transfer?

To me, build a winning team and the endorsements will come, not the other way around.

Right.  We haven't seen much (or any?) NIL news for MU hoops because we don't really have any Names that businesses think would benefit them.  Yet.  If Garcia would have returned, I bet that would be different.

If NIL were in place a couple years ago, Markus Howard

Yup.  Cut the rest of the quote.  But he could have made some money.

Idk, Ethan Happ and Davison seem to fit the WI Golden boy stereotype

Davison would have definitely got NIL money from The Nutman Co.

If a person is going to spend NIL money on a local player in Milwaukee and picks UWM over MU (exception of Pat Baldwin Jr for 1yr) then that person shouldn't be in business

UWM may have been going a little far. Although, having been in some discussions about donations to schools, and alumni at the top can drive money towards their school, even if it doesn't always make sense.

Then again, based on the hierarchy of sports in Wisconsin, UW football would be the first stop when looking at college athletes.

Yeah I mean it depends on market segment. If I'm targeting inner city Milwaukeans I'd go MUBB, if I'm a skate rink up north I'd go UW hockey. The majority of random businesses should use UW football, but itll be telling what businesses are doing this to boost consideration/revenue and whos just doing it to help their favorite team recruit based on if they're trying to appeal to their target demographic.
