NIL legal update

[WhiteTrash]

Supposedly UCLA refused to pay Jamie Dixons high buyout and ended up with Cronin instead.  No idea if true.

But overall youre right, buyouts don't meaningfully penalize coaches for jumping ship early

I agree with this.

[Uncle Rico]

I agree with this.

Yup, plenty of money left over to pay athletes their worth

Spoke with a friend who is a big UConn supporter and travels with the team. Last year he was at Fiserv and this year Creighton, St. John's and Providence. At St. John's he told me that Pitino came on the Jumbotron twice with pitches for two different NILs and that the AD made one  as well . Providence had a NIL infomercial on theirs also. He remarked that he saw no such thing at MU or Creighton. The Huskies are in the bidding for a women's team recruit who has been offered $500k from South Carolina according to him. 
He is at the tournament and was very impressed by the MU win last night and thinks both teams have some challenges today.

Based on this tweet from Goodman, Marquette is over $2mil in NIL this year.  Very impressive, thats going to rank very high nationally.  Certainly makes it easier to keep kids here to develop under Shaka for four years, plus keep kids an extra year before going through the draft like Oso this year and hopefully Kam next year.

If you divide that equally amongst the 13 scholarship spots...that is just under $154,000 per player. Incredible!

And Marquette doesn't have 13 on scholarship. Who knows if they are paid equally...I thought I recall Shaka saying they are, but not sure.

That’s the minimum they are paid just from the collective. They all may make more elesewhere.

I just got this email from UConn (I’ve bought tickets so on the mailing list). NIL is coming for scoop!

UConn's NIL Collective, Bleeding Blue for Good, has launched an all-new fan site, Storrs Central. Subscribers will gain unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to UConn Athletics. The premium subscription to the site will be $9.99/month or $99/year.

This trailblazing NIL initiative aims to unite UConn fans from all over the country under one banner. Storrs Central subscribers will receive access to the most complete coverage of UConn Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, and Football, as well as access to the exclusive "Better Get Us Now" message board.

100% of profit from the site will be used to directly support UConn student-athletes and the UConn NIL effort.

No. It’s just a number someone told Goodman

The collective NIL doesn't all go to MUMBB student athletes.

What about the women's team? My understanding is they participate also.
