A couple of their CBB writers did a “mailbag” piece from its subscribers and, not surprisingly, a lot of questions submitted were about NIL and exactly how much guys were getting paid. The writers sourced their answers from coaches, player reps, administrators, and people affiliated with the collectives. SHOCKER, Arkansas was high on the list of schools driving up the price of talent. Interestingly, Louisville was also noted as one of the top 3-5 schools aggressively driving up the market, and that was coming from multiple different sources. I know there’s a lot of conflicting reporting about international players and their ability to earn NIL money, Zack Eddy often being sited as a guy not benefiting from NIL because he’s from Canada. In fact, there’s some grey area and Eddy’s situation might be a little more about Purdue’s reticence to push some boundaries. Louisville? They’ve never struck me as a program too worried about pushing boundaries. Based on what the piece says at a high level and where he lines up versus the other guys they’re bringing in, assume Traore’s in the mid 6 figure $ range.
