How much NIL money did Pharrell Payne supposedly get? Having a heck of a tournament so far.

This song kept rattling around in my head during the show

"It's a bold strategy Cotton...."

While it will never happen (obviously some snark here) - it would finally force me to learn how to spell his name.......
