Anyone have access to actual NIL numbers? I think it would be available. Would be something a reporter could write a very good article about if they wanted to do some “freedom of information act” digging.

It's not available. Reporters have tried. Illinois state law (and many other states) requires all NIL deals over a specific value to be reported, and an article was posted on here last week that apparently Illinois is particularly bad at getting its athletes to self-report. Nobody really knows the numbers for us or anyone else.

I couldn't agree more. Since these basketball playing students are being paid huge sums of money and are in essence already professionals,
the terms of their agreements should be made public. Because after all, aren't we the fans the stockholders as we finance the school's
sports programs by attending games and watching them on tv? And let's knock off the academic eligibility nonsense as we all know there
basically, is none.

Just as a sidenote, Rutgers is likely to be reeeally bad this coming year.

Crazy to think people calling them a F4 team this time last year... then the year they had... now where they are.

Wouldnt that upset the Boozer brother that’s the PG?

I’ve heard Wright’s father is a UNC fan. Doesn’t mean much but they’ll get a look and they have zero PG’s on roster or coming in.

I don't think it's even that - even if they had a signed NIL, just like Morez, the player can bolt if his agent is still shopping him to see what deals he could have gotten and he thinks he can get more elsewhere, or frankly teams are tampering all the time now, so even if a player has signed teams are in his agent's ear telling him he can get more. It's a mess. How will teams know when their roster is even "set". Someone can come tamper with anyone that is signed and get them to back out of the deal and leave anyway. It's really chaos until the player is enrolled at your school for the fall, so it's hard to feel good about anything. The NCAA really needs to change the rules as everyone has said

I personally am intrigued of the verbiage of said NIL contracts if they aren't allowed to include the school or athletic team on them. Maybe there's an any change to your overall college admission status clause? Or geographic clause? Because if not, I'm genuinely amused by a possibility that some day say an Indiana recruit with a signed NIL deal might flip to a better deal at Louisville, but say they still intend to satisfy the Indiana NIL deal as well by making the agreed upon appearances in the contract.

I mean Indiana would technically be paying say 1.5M for the kid to make appearances at car dealerships. It shouldn't matter he goes to a different school, plus it's only 2 hours away, right?
