LOL, if that's the case then it sure looks like the Badgers paid a dollar for every quarter's worth.

It's all fake news anyway.  Considering they literally put into law that NIL "contracts" will not be made public, and the Badgers athletic department are doing everything they can to prevent any of this information from leaking out, the only way they could get a somewhat accurate number on this is if they went to every player that transferred and then get the correct number from them (and then you would have to rely on the player giving an accurate number and not inflating it).  Fake news.

Since when have people stopped leaking things behind the scenes that they shouldn't?

If Nakos has all the numbers, then Nakos should report all the numbers.  When he does so, then let me know because I would like to see it.  "Conversations with college football general managers" sure makes it sound like he talked to a few people, and is making guesses with no actual hard data in-hand.

I can guarantee you that he does not have any actual numbers from the Badgers, other than maybe an odd player here or there that gave him a number (and, if so, a good chance that the number given would not be the correct number).  That data is under lock and key, and if eventually leaked (which will probably happen considering the idiot running the department), it will be all over the internet in a matter of hours.

Not if they were told to him under the condition that he can't report specifics.

How do you think journalism works?  How do you think journalist get people to tell them these things?  They negotiate with them on what they can and cannot say.  That's how they get jurors to talk after a big court case - they negotiate what they can and cannot say.

And what do you think would happen if a journalist published something a source told them they couldn't?  At the minimum, that source would never talk with them again.  In a small community like college football GMs, word would get around very quickly and nobody would talk to Nakos again.

The NIL numbers should all be public, IMO.

Just ask Cuban what the payroll is at IU, and work down from there.

Sounds like a done deal to UW. Looks like a talented player.

Not UW related but transfer portal related.

I found this really interesting on the process and how a player thinks about entering the transfer portal.
