Wait, I thought our NIL sucked?

Report: AJ Dybantsa Received $5M NIL Offers from UNC, Alabama Before BYU Commitment

It's a new day in college sports, and multiple schools were reportedly willing to pay what it took to land highly coveted recruit AJ Dybantsa before he…

www.google.com

So reporting is that we offered AJ $5 million and he still chose to go to men's basketball powerhouse BYU.

I have heard nothing from our local idiot for nearly 6 months other than we did not have NIL money to spend. Something doesn't match up???

Haven't heard anything from that moron since this report so hopefully he goes away!!! More importantly, it is nice to know that we have the funds, but still concerning that we are not winning any recruiting battles right now. Hopefully Caleb Wilson takes our bag and calms all of us restless natives down soon. I also think, given our NIL money appears to be commingled with football, that Chapel Bill Belichick is going to help our NIL haul immensely!

Go HEELS!!!!

It’s a lazy take with the we don’t have NIL…Something is going on in recruiting and it’s not just NIL…

5-7 million for a high school graduate who will be at your institution for 6 months. Something very wrong with this picture. The total collapse of college sports with this exhibit 1.

75, I could not agree with you more, however, if that is the market rate for the top player in the country, the choices are you either have to pay that price or not recruit those players.

Caleb Wilson at $2M now sounds like a decent deal???

I hate the idea of pay-4-play with a passion! I think players should get their earned piece of the pie in the form of a trust fund they can access once they leave the U in the right way(s) AND I fully support the idea of them profiting from their own NIL BUT direct pay-4-play is an awful idea IMO!

It has been reported over and over by people that actually know that we had the $ to get a good big out of the portal, but for whatever reason we didn’t pursue it…we paid Tyson a good bit and Denis got an offer of at least 600,000 before he has stepped on campus! Danny Wolfe was asking for 700,000! Would have loved to have him here! Dont believe anything that the village idiot (Chapelle) says

It's HD guys not NIL .... he's got to figure out 7 footers don't need there primary part of the game to be stepping out for 3 balls & no inside game ...... I think we need 2 bigs like old days but whatever

 

[GoNtheDistance]

let’s pay some NIL funds to buy out Hubert

I agree play inside out… problem is 7 footers don’t want to play with their back to the basket anymore so convincing them to come play in the post is another uphill recruiting battle unless the $$$ is right

When will the ncaa implement a salary cap like every other level of sports? Has to be done tbh.

Wouldn’t a salary cap only limit what the school could pay the player? The NCAA cannot limit NIL and what boosters are willing to pay a recruit for doing a single car dealership advertisement.

The salary cap can not limit endorsement deals, in fact NIL was supposed to be about and only about endorsement deals, it started as a court case over a deal where the school got paid but the player did not for his image used in a video game. Boosters and school invented this NIL being school sponsored and the NCAA did nothing to fight it.

The salary cap can now not do a thing to limit boosters calling their endorsement deal having a you must play for a specific team component. Jimmy's Seafood can easily say the deal is advertising for our company and not in any way associated with a requirement to play for UNC. Even if it was clear they can always say they advertise to the base of their customers and the UNC fan base they identify as a strong component of their customer base so it can not be considered as part of a cap on salary, only money that flows thru the school can be considered NIL/salary effected by a cap. So we are back to wealthy boosters able to buy players over and above what any salary cap can limit.

Why would a talented FR want to come sit behind less talented upperclassmen?

A salary cap also doesn't force cheap sports owners to pay money. The NBA and NFL has salary floors. Probably harder to implement that in college though unless you actually have a well thought out plan, which the NCAA doesn't clearly, lol.

I'm not saying UNC is cheap. I'm not really following the NIL stuff all that closely. But if they are cheap, it wouldn't make them spend more money. It may potentially bring down the cost of players. The MLB and NBA don't have hard salary caps and you're seeing players make $70M /year (I know MLB contracts are becoming deferred) in those sports.

Something needs to be done to level the playing field otherwise it’s always gonna be the same teams at the top. Not sure that will include the Heels either.

Been like that for a long time in college football and basketball. UNC has been one in hoops, not in football, but same "blue blood" teams at the top competing year in year out "we play for championships level yearly" types. The playing field has never been level, we are now just sounding like the majority of schools who have been complaining about uneven playing field for years.
