“BYU, North Carolina and Alabama were all able to meet the asking price, which was approximately $5 million, according to sources at schools on Dybantsa's list of finalists. That deal is considered the largest for any college basketball player ever. That NIL deal will come directly from BYU's collective, according to Leonard Armato, Dybantsa's business adviser.

"The money for every [school] was the same," Armato, told CBS Sports. "The decision wasn't a money decision as much as it was a culture fit, a decision for the family, basketball, all those things that should be the determining factors. There was a certain money threshold, but once you got to that, it was about 'how comfortable do I feel for me as a basketball player and my family.'"
