I am sure the NIL is affecting the high profile transfers. If somebody will pay you $250k(?) to switch schools and the schools/programs are comparable or it is an upgrade why not. The programs make millions of $, the coaches make millions of $. Glad to see some trickle down to the players.
To me NIL is just making it legal for all the schools to pay their players, not just the blue bloods.
Heard Kofi on the radio on in the Peoria Market for the OSF On Call a couple of time this week.Demonte, Kofi and Megan Cooney team up with OSF HealthcareOSF HealthCare Teams Up with Star College Athletes

Basically, NCAA's version of legalized cheating.
I’m 99% sure that’s not what TC was saying.The Supreme Court weighed in on who's cheating. It wasn't the athletes.

Is there any type of record which compares NIL offerings by school? Do the players even have to report their deals to anyone (other than the IRS)? Must they report to the school, the conference or the NCAA?
Implying more towards recruits. Sort of another way to get booster/middle men benefits to recruits.Then we're in agreement? I didn't post to be antagonistic, although admittedly I read "legalized cheating" as reflecting poorly on the athletes.
Can somebody who's smarter than me explain why this name-branded merch is always "limited time only"? Wouldn't they want to just make it available all season? Or at least long enough for people to see it and want it? I mean I understand wanting to create some urgency around buying it, but only having it available for a few days doesn't make sense to me.
You said it. Urgency. Plus they are probably bluffing on the "few days" thing. I see brands do it all the time just to offer those same items online or in store.Can somebody who's smarter than me explain why this name-branded merch is always "limited time only"?

These kids also don't have the money to order and store large numbers of shirts either. Making them limited likely keeps them from owing the printing company a ton of cash for creating and storing the shirtsCan somebody who's smarter than me explain why this name-branded merch is always "limited time only"?

Kofi should make plenty of money if he returned for another year. Agents are going to be the key going forward. If he's got a good one, he should be well compensated.Looks like Edgar got some $. I'm curious about this and the terms he left the Illinois team on since they chose to retweet this.
Also, if Edgar can make $$$, no way Kofi wouldn't make bank
Back in the 50's and 60's my mother was the assistant manager for a department store where I grew up.....They would have sales of Levi jeans with the limited time only promotional sales pitch .......In reality , she told me years later that when the limited time only promotion started they had raised the price of the Levi's by 15 %.........They sold out their Levi's stock every time..................True story...................You said it.

I'd be surprised if they don't have a printing company that is just makes them on demand. I, as small business, have this option with a small local printing company.These kids also don't have the money to order and store large numbers of shirts either.

These shirts ship on January 31, which suggests they are made on demand.I'd be surprised if they don't have a printing company that is just makes them on demand. I, as small business, have this option with a small local printing company.
