Yeah, but how was your 3 point shooting?
I think the absence of official information on payments to players, including NIL, leads to a lot of factless speculation. After reports circulated that Indiana’s FB players got about $40M in payments, the Indiana coach said it was much lower than that, but he wouldn’t give an actual number.
Maybe the NCAA and schools are afraid that if those numbers become public, there will be rampant inflation in what players think they’re worth. I’m afraid that ship has already sailed. My guess is the agents have a very good idea who got what, even if the general public is being kept in the dark.
