I think it refers to the amount of "guaranteed" money they tell a recruit can be made if they come to Champaign. I think.What does that really mean ??

Oh coolKeeping Kofi has been the staff's number one priority the last week-could have caused them to maybe low ball the nil number to Garcia. We will see what happens with the big fella now...
gonna be insane these few first months recruiting wiseThe NIL # is a new way for describing McDonald's bags.
Supposedly now it’s legal, so now we will really see if we didn’t “play the game” like others out of integrity or out of being cheap.The NIL # is a new way for describing McDonald's bags.
To be fair, if I were 20 years old and someone offered me a million to play basketball at one of the best basketball schools in America, I wouldn't hesitate.North Carolina threw out a number over a million and to compare, Illinois told Kofi that Ayo would make 400k last year...so it tells you where our staff's playing on this NIL stuff. Zero clue that NIL means fundraising for recruits with companies in the area. Blue bloods have reportedly already lined up companies that are pledging flat money to recruits.
Really stinks because Garcia was a lock for a starting spot and this is his best basketball opportunity. These kids are just going to pick this highest number now.
This has been such an Illinois off-season.

Really not liking the way NIL is currently changing things…
so the best teams in college year after year will be the teams that make the most money for NILs…
Pack it up… I no longer have any sports I enjoy watching
Keeping a quality fanatic/life balance is really hard these days for people like usPack it up… I no longer have any sports I enjoy watching
Five fingers versus a fist approach? Winning with three stars?more money, more problems
the best teams in college basketball will continue to be the ones that are well rounded and play together

Been waiting for this post for a few days now. Time for a new script, when the ending is known from the start of the movie.Amazing how quickly things changed with this NIL stuff. Was hearing all Illinois the past week, and then it got flipped on its head last night. Sorry guys wish I had better news. This offseason has been really frustrating in parts but better times are ahead. Sounds like UNC is offering money that may not be reasonable to Garcia. Super frustrating stuff.
By “reportedly already lined up companies that are pledging flat money to recruits” do you really mean “retained”? Pretty sure all this does is allow them to do this over the table and will make it that much harder for the ncaa to punish wrongdoings. How do you prove this persons value at UNC isn’t $1m to send a 10s clip to a very wealthy and loyal diehard fan?North Carolina threw out a number over a million and to compare, Illinois told Kofi that Ayo would make 400k last year...so it tells you where our staff's playing on this NIL stuff.

I hope so, and I hope he’s wearing Orange.Somewhere Nagash Cockburn is smiling this morning.
It’s going to interesting, now we will be able to see how far the blue blood programs are ahead in terms of $$ going to the kids.
I guarantee some of the numbers will be mind blowing.
so what happens when he gets there and it ends up being nowhere close to $1M?North Carolina threw out a number over a million and to compare, Illinois told Kofi that Ayo would make 400k last year...so it tells you where our staff's playing on this NIL stuff.

If this is true, then there’s no way Kofi stays home. I’m sure the number our staff quoted was honest and in the true spirit of what NLI is supposed to generate for athletes—but that only creates a disadvantage in this sport.North Carolina threw out a number over a million and to compare, Illinois told Kofi that Ayo would make 400k last year...so it tells you where our staff's playing on this NIL stuff.
