His son was my buddy's bookie at IU. If he's on here, that was a while ago :) .  Also, The Cuban follow probably was a bigger deal than I wanted to believe (because we've been burned with the following talk before). But a family friend went to a big donor event at U of I and per the IL staff, IU gets most its NIL money from Cuban.

Just to clarify…this is 100% false. IU doesn’t get any NIL money from Cuban. Cuban had nothing to do with the Mgbako recruitment. Same goes for Ken Nunn.

Fair enough. So what individual(s) do give money or were involved in the recruitment.

If people wanted that public they would say so. What I can tell you is the assumption that Cuban is involved in IU’s NIL game is false…other than the Campus Ink store…which is not exclusive to IU. So, people claiming anything other than that are either misinformed or flat out making things up.

I've seen that as an NBA owner he's very restricted in what he would be able to do as far as NIL is concerned.

I can’t tell you the reason why he’s not been a donor for IU basketball because I don’t know…just know that he doesn’t give NIL money.

Mark Cuban gave $5 million to IU basketball for the Center for Sports Media and Technology.

No, it wasn’t just for Indiana basketball. That’s not accurate. My original point…he has not given IU NIL money.

Nah fam, Kyrie Irving was scrimmaging with Mgbako in the video.  

Which is pretty damn cool in its own right. 

Yeah, I saw that.  Sorry, I'm a clown

But seriously, I get MJ/Tim Duncan vibes here

The Cuban Center serves all IU Athletics and has nothing to do with NIL. 

I didn't say it had anything to do with NIL. I merely said Cuban $5 million for the Cuban Center which serves all IU athletics including the basketball program. The impression left was that Cuban does nothing for IU basketball.  Not true.

Maybe you got that impression, I thought normandale’s point (that Cuban doesn’t provide to IU basketball NIL efforts) was pretty clear.

Let's say he does, but asked IU to keep is anonymous.  Would you still say he doesn't?
