This is what college basketball has morphed into

Forget this nonsense and let players with his ability play in the NBA if he so chooses. He doesn't belong in college for one year unless he feels it a necessary part of growing up.
Let the Blue Bloods throw a ton of cash at these kids, and hope that they hemorrhage themselves into common sense recruiting.
Obviously. Doesn't mean that In my opinion it's not the best solution.
Why force anyone from working in the labor force is they choose to do so and are qualified?
But that's the way it's been forever in all sports not named basketball or football. The colleges are the ones that corrupted that.
True but the going price seems to be getting higher now that things are out in the open.
I'm still a fan of go pro or spend 2 years of college as a potential solution but I'm in the minority
So…If this was ten years ago..his list would be different? Twenty years ago? Thirty years ago?
Instead of getting 850k he would have gotten 200k…from one of those same exact schools
This board obsession with nil is out of hand
Side note look at Deion recent interview about nil..crushes collectives..should make people here happy

And we thought some parents of young athletes were jerks. This is gonna make them go even more nuts. oh boy
The problem isn't the valuation it's what is he really worth. Is his face on a video game going to sell millions of copies. If so, pay him. Is he going to be doing commercials for businesses, if so great let him earn money. If this is just a bunch of dudes putting money to get him in their schools uniform, it's a different than what NIL is. So many of these NIL's are bogus where the kid is getting paid to tweet and making 250K for sending out 2 happy birthday tweets. If it was Tom Brady requesting that money for happy birthday tweets, ok maybe some rich moron thinks it's worth it for his kids birthday, but no way is that reasonable compensation for any college athlete.
On3 valuations consider what each kid is worth in total. The upper end athletes have their own deals which are part of the overall valuation, thus a college NIL will only cover a portion of the valuation. He won't be getting $858K from a university collective.
A video company stole a college players image and likeness. He was paid nothing. The theft was blatant.
And this is the ultimate outcome. Talk about smh. Like Dan's boy Jay Black once sang. Only in America, land of opportunity.

That enables a university with $1.5MM in NIL opportunities to be successful. No team wins the NCAA tournament with 5 alphas.
The issue I’d having too many “alphas” is one coaches have navigated forever. Pre-NIL. I don’t buy the notion that blue bloods aren’t going to succeed if they continue to get high level players.
Some schools have a war chest of funds. Flagg could easily net that amount through a collective
