Imagine Kansas losing a recruit because his mom was like “hey maybe I’ll text Indiana?”

And what a compliment to Woody to have a parent call and ask you to recruit her son.

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

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

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

Cuban can assist IU athletics quite a bit. But yeah can’t give anything to NIL now nothing prevents him from helping with other things to free other money up for NIL though

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

Which is pretty damn cool in its own right.

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.

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

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

Pretty sure if he did both he and IU would get in some trouble
