Gopher Basketball Portal Money - $1 Million


I thought I heard Doogie today say the Gophers were bottom two in the Big 10.. FWIW for NIL money

Doogie is wrong a lot and it doesn't seem likely to me both are true. That is, if we have a $million dollars to spend I don't think it would be bottom two. I do think as it has been said in several places that if we have a million to spend it would put us in the middle.

Indiana has a lot. Illinois must. Nebraska has more than we do. Michigan is adding a whole new team of guys you've heard of...hard to do in 2024 without some money...they'd have even more if they could get admissions to let them in. Maryland has been active.

Wisconsin has lost several guys and added minimal ....no money?
Iowa pretty quiet...nobody expensive.

I don't see us bottom two if you piece all the clues together.
 




What kind of contracts are these kids signing? How can Hawkins be pimping DTA one day and then completely back out of the commitment one week later?

Do these bigger contracts not have some sort of termination or non-compete language?

I'm assuming that entering the portal would be grounds for termination of the NIL agreement.

Hawkins' departure is the only one that I'm angry about. Our season ended March 24th and the other Gophers to hit the portal left not very long afterward and none to my knowledge stated they were returning. Hawkins' waited almost a month to enter and did so after saying twice that he would return.
 


Parker Fox said the DTA collective pays 1/2 the money up front at the beginning of the season and then equal payments throughout the season.

No money paid in the offseason. But all collectives may handle it differently.
 





Just from what I have heard…may not be right:
Trying to drum up 400k for Christie
Offered 250 k to Hawk
Garcia 400 range
I’d guess we had 1.5 million to 2 million and it wasn’t enough. I think they are scrambling now
