I think Dickinson makes a decent amount of money from his shirt line (Big Dickinson Energy) -- enough that where he ends probably becomes a small factor.  A team that translates nationally = greater shirt sales.  Kentucky and Kansas would fit that bill, not sure Maryland does.

I would guess ad space on his Barstool (?) podcast brings in some decent cash too.

Jaden Bradley, 6'3" point guard from the class of 2022 and ranked 26th in the class, has committed to Arizona.  Transferred from Alabama where he averaged 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 20 minutes per game.

This is interesting.  Does seem to be a guy very connected with Kentucky hoops.

 

 

The hilarious part is acting as if UK has scruples. They not only guarantee money, they find ways to provide benefits outside the scope of NIL to entice players to commit or remain at the school.

So we want Kansas for Dickinson here right? Because that would take a huge chunk of NIL money away and bring in another guy who will be putting up a ton of shots? Also so we don’t have to play him lol

Psst...we play Kansas at home next season. 

 

Whether it's Kansas or Maryland, I fully expect him to come in and drop another 20+ on us. It's why I wouldn't be upset if he picked UK. We couldn't handle him in either game last season.

he had 16 and 7 when we played them at Michigan.  Considering he averaged 18.5 and 9, I think we did okay on him in Ann Arbor.

Anyone who believes this nonsense is a fool of the highest order.

I think it's all about the nuances of how it is presented.  Do I believe Kentucky can present to players information such as "player X brought this much in NIL money, player Y brought in this much"?  Sure.  It's not like that is an unbelievable scenario.  Players can easily read between the lines and figure what they should earn in NIL.  Dickinson can see what Oscar T made in NIL and reasonably imagine he'd bring in about the same.

Players making a ton of money in NIL also likely have someone working for them and hustling to find every avenue to increase their NIL.  What would be interesting is to see what happens when a verbal 'guarantee' of a certain amount of NIL dollars ended up being below what a player would get.  It's not like the player could actually sue for the shortfall
