I wasn't sure if you were asking who is giving him 800k or where he is going to play
Hunter going to KU and not improving or playing a lesser role would be something to sell in the future.
KU is going to land top players. Between Pack, Kendrick Davis, and Hunter, I know who I want Williams having to defend next year.

As annoying as Hunter at Kansas would be, I think you're right that from a pure basketball standpoint, it sure beats them having Pack or Davis.
I think Hunter can become a great college player, and already is a great college defender. But he's far from Pack or Davis on offense at this point.
Now watch him shoot 40% from three next year and turn it over half as much because I just said that.
We've talked about this a lot in our household. Most players always seem to tweet "go get yours, big fella" because obviously they're all for players getting paid. But, yeah, how do you manage it w/recruiting knowing you can't offer everyone the big $$$$? Where does the line get drawn? Put most of your money to get a few big time recruits and take what's leftover to fill in the non-skill positions? Crazy.
Well of course that will happen, because not only is he a year more experienced, he already has the instincts on defense even emphasized more by the way we aggressively coached it. And he will be surrounded by more scorers , better roster.
He's a cheating POS and has mastered buying players for years and years. Of course he's going to openly buy players now that it is legal and sort of above board.
“Pack, who can play either guard spot and is considered one of the best shooters in the country., has also agreed to a $400,000 per year, or $800,000 total, NIL deal with John Ruiz and LifeWallet for his potential two upcoming seasons at Miami.”

Tyrese Hunter would be an absolute fool not to leave ISU for *any* role on *any* team if he can get that kind of money.
The odds he’d be able to work his way into a lottery pick here but not get serious run at a KU/Duke/Kentucky are low. Where he plays next year likely won’t affect his rookie contract in the NBA. Take the money now. It is *way* better than a Lloyd’s of London insurance policy…
every one? As in the same, and that's the max? So how does that help them bring in the 4 and 5-star players if they're offered much more elsewhere? All the NCAA has to do is put a 'cap' on it. Then say every scholarship player must be paid the same. After all, isn't that why we want them paid? They are a 'team' bringing in money, not individuals? Plus they're getting their education (well, dont laugh at that part)
I know he has things to work on but I don't see at all why you think he would possibly play a lesser role. He'll play more than Remy Martin did.
I wonder if anybody has told Pack how much of that the government is going to get. Hopefully he learns that before he starts spending it.
And chance at more winning and legit shot at a natty, more TV time, etc.
As B12 Freshman of the year he was on ESPN+ or ESPNU an awful lot.
If he were on a KU etc many more people would have known about his assist stats.
He wouldn’t have had those stats this past year at KU. His turnovers would’ve kept him on the bench a lot.
The whole thing reaks of 'clean slate' for these programs that have had things come to light.
Wasn't being literal. Just saying he did some great things and was not a national name...being at a better school helps that.
I'd also argue that he maybe doesn't turn it over as much without carrying so much weight. Maybe even more assists when reliable shooters are everywhere.
Paging @FriendlySpartan who said 50K was the limit for NIL money. I guess the 2mil for Thiebs and 800k for Pack should shut you up.
A lot of schools will have multiple groups giving out this money.
One group might be giving out $X for every player. Another might be more focused on the big fish.
