It'll come back down to earth when a few guys don't produce or leave in the middle of the agreement. Until then, it's on!
It is pretty crazy. Nijel pack isn’t great by any means. TJD might legit make a million next year.
He could flame out and be a cautionary tale for every other program. They have 5 or 6 new dudes on that squad too.
Miami has money, but bball doesn’t matter. Bball matters at IU. Hoosiers for good is gonna get a lot of large donations. They will start giving out a million to a player with in a few years. Guarantee it.
Miami is going to be funded pretty well in basketball. That one booster is obviously a basketball fan, and he’s shown the willingness to dish out a ton. He has a $20+ billion net worth so it’s a drop in the bucket

Well that will do it. Miami will start getting players. How didn’t they get Malik??? From there.TV Lawyer, Ex-Israeli Commando Forge a $33 Billion SPAC Deal
John H. Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.
Edit: if that link doesn’t work it’s John Ruiz.
I think we are going to be pretty big players in NIL, but we aren’t going to have a single donor like that.
Cheaper than $10MM for a new coach. I'm guessing that in four years I will loath college basketball.
Will you loathe the off court stuff or the on court games?
I’m in an argument right now that it’s pay for play. It’s an impermissible inducement to bid for a player. Didn’t stop them to get into a bidding war though. Wild Wild West.
I never thought about the possibility of the NIL keeping the good players in college, which makes the college game better. I always thought it would take the NBA adopting the MLB college baseball rule. NIL deals can be better than Europe, the G-League, or even going later in the draft.
I bet IU will give them2 checks. One for the irs one for them.
Hell why not buy the kids stock? Then in a year they cash it out and just pay capital gains. 🤣 How awesome would it be for a financial company to market that.
It will be interesting to watch this develop. Having a swiss army knife like Glass involved would really change the game with the combination of law, fundraising, global connections in sports, business and politics and understanding of big time NCAA process.
The nil portal sight is so easy to navigate. Not sure what everyone else is doing.
It will mean you got bent over & dry *****d.
Nothing illegal anymore tho. All legit. You have law firms (glass and IU) leading the charge. It’s all on the table now, but gonna take time for people to understand it isn’t cheating. Everything Miami did was legal.
It will mean Lawyers will see some of the green
I would structure it on a monthly, hell 2 week cycle for that kind of money. Easy to get out of that way.
