Lifewallet is like an app to house your medical history. It allows you to share it with any providers you need to. It was started by a guy in Miami, I don't believe he is a Miami alumni but has NIL deals with numerous Miami athletes and lists them all on the website.

Chances are they have agent directing that stuff. And if they don't and get in trouble, who cares, let them learn some lessons the hard way.
Man, would like to see how these contracts are being drafted. Take Pack for example. 2 years at $400k per year. What about if:
1. Player gets kicked off the team after year one.
2. Player has issues with the coach and gets relegated to the bench for most of the season.
3. Out for a whole year with injury.
4. Goes into a scoring/shooting slump and doesn't produce anywhere near his numbers at KSU.
5. Drops out of school.
Also, let's say a player wants to leave for another team. Will the new team have to pay back that player's remaining contract (like in the pros)? This is such a mess.

I did not say I think it's the most likely outcome. But it is a possible outcome. Far more possible than his role here being less than last year's.
In the last 10 seasons, only one KU pg had the usage Hunter's would have here. Even Frank Mason's senior season did not have the usage. And Hunter has a long ways to go to be Frank Mason.
Wonder how many BMW and Mercedes dealerships are going to start opening up in college towns all across the country.
Blew up fast and a TON of money compared to what I would have thought.
You've been off on NIL and realignment your entire time on this forum.
Is this you starting to poke your head out of the sand?
Also, thinking of coaches and universities themselves not being the ones directly doing these contracts. Like in my example above, what guarantees that a coach has to play the player to get maximum returns? They might just end up being a minor bench player, while the group that ponied up the cash wants them to play a larger role to justify their investment.
No one is paying 500k for his defense.
He wasn't even all conference. When the talk was about matching, I doubted Hunter was worth 200k compared to what is out there. For 500k for no way we should not have matched. Go get 2 or 3 players that are already better than what Hunter was last season, just seniors, and improve multiple spots. Buying upside is becoming a fools errand in college basketball, it's why transfers have blown up. Granted, at KU if you can buy both and have other options.
freshman get better, he'll likely eventually be worth that. Maybe even next year. KU normally has good players, so it is not a huge blow. Better it be Hunter than Pack or Davis imo
Don't forget a DRAFT.
Probably the biggest key to making the NFL, NBA and to some degree MLB work.
Im sure his offense numbers will improve greatly playing on a team with an offense, assuming his playing time and usage remain similar. Got to be hard to get assists with the shooting we had last year.
But it’s not pay for play…
Because, yes the local Norman Ford dealership is interested in paying a 3rd string TE 50k to make some commercials.
For men’s sports NIL so far looks like about 2% actual NIL and 98% straight Wild West pay for play. But the important thing is lawyers are making sick cash repping athletes, so that’s good.
Well those will be the people/agencies running the show now then. Better hope you get a good one.
I’m sorry what have I been off on for realignment? Pretty sure I said every single thing that happened. Also I started a thread last summer on how ISU should start an NIL fund to get each player 50-100k and was negged to oblivion
As crazy as this sounds I think Kansas is the worst. If he goes to Iowa big deal that's once a year. With Kansas we face him twice with a third possibility at the conference tournament.
I have a hard time believing all the stories about guys getting caught off guard by the taxes.
