Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4037997, member: 10"] I'll post this again here since it seems relevant. [I]When asked if any recruit, parent of a recruit or representative of a recruit had inquired as to how much money they could make at UConn thanks to the recently passed name, image and likeness laws, Hurley began to laugh. “Yes,” he said in between chuckles. He then took a long pause before re-stating his answer. “Listen ... yes.” Suffice to say, it has come up. But even as it becomes a more prominent piece of college sports, Hurley said he won’t be altering his recruiting strategy to adhere to it. “We’re not going to get into the business,” Hurley said. “Everyone has a reputation in recruiting. We’ll never inflate numbers to a potential recruit about what they could potentially do in NIL to try and secure their services, which is something that, you know, potentially you’re going to see. ... We’re going to attract kids here that want to be a part of one of the great brands in all of college basketball. They want to be a part of a program that’s striving for its fifth national championship. They want to be developed by a great group of coaches that want to help them maximize their professional careers. “And we’ll put them in the best position that we can to take advantage of the NIL here at UConn. I’m not going to get into the business, which you’re obviously going to see from programs, you know, where that goes on. That’s not who I am.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
