NIL Stories
My old neighbor golfed at UK and is still close enough to the program to hear things. He told me yesterday that UK offered 3 high school golfers a combined $800k.
Also mentioned UK volleyball has lost a couple players over NIL money.
If golfers are getting an average of $265k, what the fuck are football players getting?

Odunze went on a podcast last year where NIL/endorsements while in college was briefly discussed and he scoffed at a suggestion he got more than million if I remember right. Let me see if I can find.
Edit: He's asked directly if he is a millionaire going into the league and he says no. OFC maybe he spent it all but that doesn't seem like him.
If I screwed up the link its at 33:52ish

He said he invested most of it if I remember right. I am sure the price has gone up since then for someone of his talent.
In the non revenue sports all it takes is one rich donor wanting to throw money away to make a significant impact. Being that passionate about uk golf as mentioned above seems really dumb though. They do have a much higher revenue share than us poors I guess.

Football>golf

I have no idea if UK has a big money gold booster. I do know there is a shit ton of old horse money around here and UK is the only game in town. Louisville has fans but nothing like UK.
