Tennessee crazy NIL figures

[Cstate]

I’m currently down in Knoxville hanging out with friends, who actively contribute to Tenessee’s NIL. They said Rick Barnes has 17-20 million to work with next season. They also said JP Estrella was offered 1.5M for next season, but turned it down. And the reason was because Indiana offered him 3M. Crazy numbers being thrown around!!!

That doesn’t add up. He would be starting so offering him only 1.5 with that budget seems off to me.

Tennessee doesn’t have 17 million. Indiana might, but like Kentucky they are just throwing money at guys.

I guess Tennessee wants to be UK lite. Flush good donor money down the toilet every year. If JPE can get $3M with his injury history, more power to him. I think his market ceiling will end up being $2M, maybe $2.5M, and GMac will close the deal. All speculation on my part.

I have no clue who they get their info from. I just know they own a Rod Iron Fence company and contribute 200k per year and have 3 season tickets.

These schools that have aging coaches are in blank check mode for one last hurrah. Rick Barnes and Sampson are 70 now. Hell gmac and carmelo beat them on their way to the natty back in 2003 in the tourney when the were coaching then.

Do we really know the amount anyone is getting? I hear all these crazy numbers, but where is the evidence?

If they had 17 million they should easily meet 3 million for a center. He was projected as their best returning player.
