A little bit of news this morning when it comes to Cooper Flagg and what Cooper Flagg made NIL-wise in one year at Duke.
00:11
Any guesses or do you guys know the story already?
00:13
I do not know the number.
00:14
You don't know the number?
00:15
Any guesses?
00:16
$15 million.
00:18
For one year at Duke, I'm going to guess $3 million.
00:20
Yeah, I was going to say $2 million.
00:22
$10 million.
00:23
Shyam, any guess?
00:24
$10 million.
00:24
$28 million.
00:27
What?
00:29
In one year?
00:30
So that is theoretically more than he may make his first season in the NBA.
00:36
Well, that's going to be more than his rookie contract because I think the NBA rookie contract is $10 million.
00:40
So I just want to ask if that is a good or a bad thing when it comes to college athletes and to sports.
00:48
Well, I understand that his rookie contract won't be that much, but his endorsements and stuff will probably end up reaching that number.
00:56
No, no.
00:57
I'm just talking about the rookie contract.
00:58
I know, I know.
00:59
But I'm saying like NIL deals include, you know, like if Nike, NIL.
01:03
It's insane.
01:04
So will it end up being the same because?
01:07
Well, he's got the New Balance deal, so I don't know what that is.
01:09
Sorry, New Balance.
01:10
He's a New Balance guy.
01:10
So it's basically New Balance and Fanatics.
01:13
$15 million from New Balance.
01:14
$13 million from Fanatics.
01:16
One year at Duke University.
01:18
That's pretty good.
01:19
That is really good.
01:20
It's good money, but does that mean a guy goes into the NBA wanting to earn his money?
01:26
$28 million is shocking.
01:27
Isn't that shocking?
01:29
Well, because you got to.
01:30
He made three times what Belichick's going to make to coach North Carolina.
01:35
I know.
01:35
Isn't that unbelievable?
01:36
It isn't an amazing and astronomical number, but think about this because there were talks
01:44
about Cooper Flagg maybe going back for another year, but that would have slowed down the speed
01:51
in which he would have been able to get a super max when he does get to the NBA.
01:54
So think about what the super maxes are.
01:56
Like we saw Jason Tatum get $318 million.
01:59
So Cooper Flagg, when he comes to knocking, that $25 million is going to win.
02:03
But if I'm Cooper Flagg, why are you leaving college?
02:06
Well, that's what I was just going to say, Curtis.
02:07
Before every time a great player would go back, everyone's like, but what if you get injured?
02:11
What if you get injured?
02:12
What if you miss out on your opportunity?
02:14
Well, you're still making $28 million.
02:15
It's still, why run the risk of going back to college?
02:19
You already see what happened to Jason Tatum.
02:21
Something happens like that.
02:22
Yes, it's $25 million.
02:24
$28.
02:24
$28 million.
02:25
But why run the risk of, you know, putting another year in college when that year could
02:31
be going to the NBA, which is a super max.
02:33
Wiggy, you get paid $100 million to go to Duke for four years?
02:36
That sounds awesome.
