This prob best spot for this question - is there any standard format to any of this? Like we are now a bit into this era and there seems to be so little info on how any of this works.

Are players actually getting their money? I’m assuming so or we would hear about it but I feel like there’s so little around how any of it works. Do they get paid monthly? Is it a case of cash? I’m assuming still free tuition and all but does a guy getting a million dollars still get his $20 lunch per diem? I know the grades / school part is a joke but I’m assuming there is still some logistical aspect of credits / classes that at least has to be checked off in some fashion is it just a ton of online classes basically?

I’m assuming there’s things in place but for the amount of money it feels like there is a general lack of knowledge and understanding to any of it. Can the schools stop paying a kid if he gets hurt or plays bad or do they get it all up front?

This money is explicitly not for performance. That's still against the rules.

So is there a signed agreement that states what the non-performance obligations are to receive the money? Or do they sign away their NIL to the school? What happens if they give the money and the kid just quits?

It’s just odd to me that there isn’t a clear system for giving 2 mil to someone. It’s insane.

There are definitely contracts. If a player up and quits they aren't getting paid. But all the money they are receiving from outside NIL/school revenue sharing is explicitly for the use of their name, image and likeness and cannot be tied to any performance incentives. So if you agree to pay a kid 2 million dollars and he ends up sucking, you still have to pay them 2 million dollars

^^ thanks.

Sounds like a decent chance this PG Hammond from Santa Clara (Herbert!!1) might commit this weekend

4/10/2026 1:12:40 PM

The NIL era of college basketball is stupid and sucks.

4/10/2026 2:44:51 PM

Staff as come together looks good i guess, no real clue

4/10/2026 3:47:09 PM

They’re all elite recruiters, elite developers of talent, elite X and O guys, championship in their dna. All of them.

4/10/2026 4:57:33 PM

The biggest question is can they recruit ballerz, and can they develop said ballerz?

4/11/2026 11:32:34 PM

When's Justin going to get his first committ? Feels weird not even having enough players to field a team (and I'm just noticing the 4 that haven't declared for the portal are all "big men")

4/13/2026 10:39:36 AM

I noticed Louisville got 2 big transfers the other day but haven’t heard of too many others. Wonder how long it takes for most to decide?

WRONG!!!........ He committed today though.

Inb4 someone tells us how shitty he is

4/13/2026 3:10:24 PM

Easily the worst PG transfer we've had since Quadir Copeland.

4/13/2026 4:06:16 PM

^^ He committed Saturday night

lol at well actually-ing the commitment date because the player committed to the staff a day or two before publicly announcing it.

Seems kinda weird the Deng and Musa haven’t announced they’re back but also haven’t announced their intent to portal. Also that Carter-Givens hasn’t decommitted. I don’t expect him to come. But just wired…

4/13/2026 7:48:55 PM

Wired indeed, I wish they would unwire the decisions!

4/13/2026 7:55:01 PM

Isn’t that how decisions are announced. Telegraph wires?

I receive all my insider information via carrier pigeon

4/13/2026 9:29:21 PM

On a related note, sources tell me that Mustafa Shakur is going to commit to Arizona

4/13/2026 10:34:08 PM

Lol

4/14/2026 6:16:17 AM

State is not on Ables list

4/14/2026 2:59:30 PM

UnAble to get him back

4/14/2026 3:01:40 PM

Lets tAble the discussion on him and focus on the ballerz we DO have

4/14/2026 3:07:02 PM

Just don't go to UNC please

4/14/2026 4:49:08 PM

I wouldn’t be able to bear that

4/14/2026 5:59:33 PM

Don’t worry, he’s going to Miami according to someone who has mutual friends with Able’s dad’s lawn care guy

Able’s dad’s lawn care guy has logged an expert prediction:
Matt Able —> Miami (69%)
