Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

It's a bet that his source knows what he's talking about. If he turns out to be right, he gets the nerdy journalistic glory for having been right, first.
Why would any private contract be made public? I dont publish my employees salaries. NIL deals dont involve the school. Obviously they may announce a deal (esp if there is a marketing aspect) but highly unlikely the dollars.
The player being paid has to report the dollars to the IRS of course.
It seems like it would only be appropriate if we were the first school to have a major player poached by NIL. We take the biggest kicks to the junk. Get the nut cups ready.
For those that have subscriptions to the premium boards… has the chatter from actual sources/individuals been optimistic or pessimistic on this situation?

FWIW - Tyrese’s last Instagram story (posted 38 minutes ago) says “Let me here sum before I go ghost”
IMO… not good.

Give me just a little break here....I have no idea how they work. How was I supposed to know NIL deals don't 'involve' the school? So you're saying since it comes from private donors and businesses, none of it has to be reported? (besides IRS)
So are you saying Boone Pickens can just contact said player from Okie State and offer and/or march into the basketball office and lay down a couple million for NIL deals? Or its all done personally from donor to player? If so, what a zoo.
Eh. Schools have been losing players over money for decades, we've just given it a fancy name now. 95% of these deals don't have a damn thing to do with an athlete's Name, Image or Likeness.
It's donor to player technically, though there are literally no rules about how a staff can or can't be involved because that's exactly how the University presidents want it. The wild, wood West.
Other than Boone. He's dead.
It’s not really that bold to shoot down a tumor based on one random tweet (which has since been admitted to be made up) and a **** ton of irrational panic.
The retraction the guy put out was barely a retraction. He said "I didn't realize it's not public yet", not that it was completely made up.
We could judge that for ourselves if sports journalists stopped using unnamed sources, as if they were reporting on issues of national security. But they don't, so here we are.
What does that even mean?
My white 35 year old male guess is he wants to hear something before disappearing. Wants to engage with a few people before logging off for awhile.
That’s a good point, there’s quite a few people that reliably post on bball info and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone other than CW post.
