Is TJ Bamba visiting this weekend? If not him, is it Knecht or Da Silva? I'd be happy with any of them. I won't ask about a certain West-coast player since he's not in the portal.

It is possible to negotiate a 4 year NIL contract with a incoming freshman with a sliding scale upward across the 4 years, perhaps witn incntives and performance bonuses, but which is non-negotiatible and binding. or are NIL constracts just binding for one year?????
I have not seen anything to indicate that NIL contracts are any different from any other contracts. As such, they should be able to contain whatever conditions the two sides agree upon.

When NIL first started, I thought about performance bonuses. Then I thought about what they could do to team chemistry. What does the player with a bonus for averaging 10pts/game do if they are not comfortably averaging more than 10pts - pass to the open person or take the contested shot? The same type of non-team play distortions seemed to come up for pretty much every stat I could think of except defensive rebounding. I'm probably missing something there. Bonuses for average minutes wouldn't affect their on court play. It may sour the player/coach relationship -- you cost me money by not playing me enough.

I do think that multi-year contracts, with growing payments, or claw back clauses if the player decides to leave while the coaches still want them, might work. Bonuses for where they place in the BTT regular season, BTT tournament, and NCAAs also may work.

I hate to say this but IU & MIZNOZ are going to be a pain for the foreseeable future. It'll be good for basketball to get those rivalries heated up.
