Candid Coaches: What is the most amount of NIL money someone has asked you or your staff to pay for a player?
We asked college basketball coaches how much NIL money they are being asked to arrange to sign top recruits

I bet dealing with these agents is such a headache. It’s no surprise the old guard of elite coaches are mostly done.![]()

51% of coaches surveyed said that they've been asked for at least $1 million for one player's services.
That's insane.
I know for sure during recruiting/portal season, a ul insider said on the radio ul paid guys 25k for only a visit. He said everyone does that but im not so sure.
The fact anyone pays 25k for only a visit is insane.
I think a solid modification would be:It’s sad.
The NCAA’s member institutions are being punished for the sins and greed of the NCAA itself. We went from the players having no power to them having all of it. Everything in this country now has to be one extreme or the other. No balance, no moderation.

I think a solid modification would be:
- continue to allow NIL.
- No more instant transfers.
- Allow one transfer, unless a head coach leaves. In which case they'd get two transfers total, regardless of "hardship."
Hold players more accountable to their choices, while also continuing to allow them to dip their foot into the free market.
I agree 100% and have said the same thing.It’s sad.

And said he ended up in the SEC. Wonder who it was ? Shouldn't be hard to figure out. SEC portal signings, look up players who averaged 5 PPG at a mid major.I bet dealing with these agents is such a headache. It’s no surprise the old guard of elite coaches are mostly done.
And that, more than anything else, is what we heard from most coaches -- that nearly every player in the transfer portal worth pursuing is asking for something, often something out of line with reality. One coach told us he was informed that it would take $400,000 to get a transfer who had just averaged around five points per game at the mid-major level.
