Nigel Pack - $800k NIL deal

[RockChalk82]

Off to miami. Sad for Kstate. He could have been an all American for them next year.

Have you guys read the Twitter stream of the guy John Ruiz supporting all of this for Miami?

seems like he’ll be on American greed in about 5 years.

This NIL thing is not being used as it was intended. Won't be long before it blows up.

The market decides and that is 'Merica!

I thought for sure he'd be going to Purdue. Did not see that coming. Hard to turn down $800k, obviously.

I've resigned myself to our new reality. Think I'll be playing a lot more golf during Purdue sporting events in the future.

This is real interesting especially now.

You think Nowell has the success he does if Pack is still there?

Great Q probably not this much but I didn't watch them last year. Looks like a win/win for everybody involved.

Money well spent

Nowell isn’t the guy he is this year with pack there.

But if pack stayed, does kstate do even better this year? Probably

The only difference between Miami and other schools is that Miami Ruiz publicized what he did. This has been going on for many years, under the table and that's how most teams recruited. Now they are unhappy because it is legal and the playing field is even. Please watch Duke's Lively interview where he talked about buying a house for his mother with his NIL money.
And do not take this as a shot against Lively because I think he's a super young man, but it's just to illustrate that everyone does it

This is sort of a weird post, no? Seems like everyone in the thread is saying it was a good deal. Don’t think anyone on this board is blind to the fact that these have been happening for decades.
