How Rutgers rebuilt its St Johns program - NIL - four million

[Eurocat]

The reason I link to this non Big Ten team is just that I thought (and maybe I am late to the party and this is old news), I thought the NIL needed to get cookin' was twice or three times as much. This doesn't mean I like or support the NIL system. I am just saying a team like SJ would be paying much more. (Rutgers basketball NIL budget is 3.5 million per a different article in the Post).
