For AJ, it already went from 7 mil to 4 mil so I would suspect you're right.

IMO, everyone is lying about NIL amounts

Do you think Egor is really getting $800,000?

I bet this is accurate.

I guarantee it is… Egor is making much more than this

There’s only a handful of people who actually know all the numbers.

I got the sense from your first reply that you were saying it was under 800k.

Well I personally know that byu offered a women’s basketball player $500k in NIL money. That makes it not seem

RdF3

Does BYU even pull in $500K in women's basketball ticket revenue?

Indy Coug

Oct 24, 9:18am

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

Icecat

If it's $500k, it's probably over 4-5 years meaning that the annual number is

Haha nah, it’s definitely $500k. I’m sure it was over 4 years. She got a lot more than that elsewhere though.

The highest paid WNBA player is making over $30M in endorsement deals.

Nah I personally know the girl. As much as you want to refuse to believe it, it's legit.

It's entirely possible. But you don't help your believability with your $30MM

Methusaleh22

I mean, the $30M claim is true. It's spread over 8 years but he's not wrong.

The 4 number is legit for AJ. But in general I think you're right.

Agreed. These numbers floating around publicly are propped up by player agents.

What a terrible negotiation strategy by BYU, randoms on CB know their max offer

If you just agree to $2m today, you run the risk of losing him to KSU
