Did I ever mention that I hate the NIL and the Portal? Thought so.
SO.....now a player's agent, for the first time ever...at least openly, lol...has told a school that if the player doesn't get more money, the player is gonna leave.
I wonder what took so long for this to happen.
The article is too long to post here, so I am posting a paragraph or two and adding a link.

"College sports' name, image and likeness landscape took on a grenade Thursday night when Miami guard Isaiah Wong's NCAA-approved agent went on record to make a threat, the likes of which had never been said on the record in college sports history.
"If Isaiah and his family don't feel that the NIL number meets their expectations they will be entering the transfer portal tomorrow, while maintaining his eligibility in the NBA draft and going through the draft process," Wong's agent, Adam Papas, told ESPN.
In other words: Pay up or we're out.
What took so long? Athletic directors and coaches have been griping, mostly privately, that something like this was bound to happen. That sound they heard was Pandora's Box cracking allllll the way open, its contents and potential consequences spewing across the NCAA.
"Insanity!" one power-conference coach texted within minutes of the ESPN.com story being published."
