"Hell, read about it in the paper. I mean, Jackson State paid a guy $1 million last year that was a really good Division I player to come to the school. It was in the paper, and they bragged about it. Nobody did anything about it. I mean, these guys at Miami that are going to play basketball there for $400,000, it's in the newspaper. The guy tells you how he's doing it."

Last I heard there were no NIL deals for Travis Hunter per se. There were rumors that Barstool Sports (Deion's employer) was going to offer Hunter something. Of course, are such rules required by Mississippi State Law to be disclosed?
