I thought it was known that it’s NOT Smith/Ainge that are funding the majority
of NIL right now. That there are about 10 or so donors that live in Provo footing the bill.
This is why I think it’s funny Ute fans are up in arms about Ryan Smith.
I wonder if Nakos knows it’s them, or just assuming it is like everyone else

I sincerely hope this is not true. The highest paid WNBA player only makes $252,000.
