[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 938136, member: 282"] Money was all over basketball before NIL. Now, it’s out in the open. The amount of money has increased, but there was already a lot of money changing hands. Now, we have NIL sponsors. In Miami, LifeWallet and other businesses are directly sponsoring athletes. Before, you had bag men—you know, weird people who weren’t official big donors but hung around in the locker room and quietly gave money to recruits. And for some reason, the basketball program doesn’t have any. I wonder if you can think of a weird person who used to hang out with Pastner and the players and the recruits and doesn’t any more. Also, you had Nike and Adidas and shoe companies funding recruits—well, Duke and UNC did. We did not. Anyway, bag men are largely out of favor, and NIL sponsors are in. We talk about fans funding NIL collectives, but NIL sponsors are Body Armor and Gatorade, Bojangles and a local chiropractor, local car dealerships, local law firms and local businesses. It’s Waffle House somebody’s waterproofing business. We didn’t have the shoe companies before, and we don’t have a lot of NIL sponsors now. [/QUOTE]
