Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4934371, member: 9844"] That is very interesting. If a coach gives realistic expectations for NIL income that isn't a big problem IMO. I imagine some NIL deals are fairly set in stone and known, but others are estimates of what they think will be offered. If that is the case, then whatever they tell a potential recruit is at best an estimate. So if you are close to getting a big time recruit, the temptation is great to promise a couple of hundred thousand more than your competitors, and more than you actually think is realistic, if there is no punishment for doing so. At some point I think players will have a good legal case against coaches who knowingly over-promised NIL income way beyond realistic expectations, and the NCAA or someone else will have to step in and put some guardrails in. The NIL deals are obviously very good for the athletes, and I hope I am wrong about this, but the current wild wild west landscape seems ripe for many abuses and while most may handle it appropriately I suspect some rotten apples will reveal themselves over the next few years. Anyway your info on Travis is quite interesting and sheds light on what some players are being offered. , [/QUOTE]
