Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4038016, member: 1646"] How is what Memphis doing "subverting the amateurism rules?" UConn literally can't prohibit their players from profiting from their NIL. The Ivy League allows NIL. So why wouldn't UConn help the players make as much money as they can? HooperScooper's quote tells me one of two things: i) Hurley is referring to schools promising vasts amount of cash that they won't be able to deliver on similar to promises to start on Day 1 or to be an NBA lottery pick after year 1. He also doesn't want kids that are ONLY interested in maxing out their NIL while at UConn; or ii) He only wants guys that want to play for UConn and not take advantage of NIL opportunities. If it's the latter, he's going to fall behind if he doesn't want players that are interested in NIL. I personally think he was referring to the former and I hope UConn will help its athletes secure opportunities. [/QUOTE]
