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.
