Super sleazy stuff. I know some of this stuff happened in the shadows prior to 2021, but you will never be able to convince me that it happened to the degree that it's happening now, especially with opening the Pandora's Box of the free-for-all transfer portal.

[I]When Cipot said he was finally able to talk to Lowery, he was told that the agents were asking for a 10 percent cut of any NIL earnings Lowery might make. (For comparison, NFL agents receive up to 3 percent commission on NFL deals.) He also said Lowery told him the agents were insistent that Wisconsin’s staff wasn’t telling the truth about its goals for Lowery to graduate or play, which Cipot adamantly disagreed with, as he was there on the official visit. He noted money was never a driving factor for Lowery.

“He was trying to tell me the agent was pulling a fast one on him and he fired him that night,” Cipot said. “I think they were looking for a bigger deal so they could get paid. That’s what I took out of it. Obviously, they weren’t in it for the interest of the kid because the kid wanted to go to Wisconsin. He was whole-heartedly all-in.”

“Leon never said like, ‘Well, what if these guys offer me more?’ He never had that conversation with us. That’s why when all this happened, it was like a gut punch. So now that it all comes out, it was all bulls—.”[/I]
