The University of Utah’s Athletic Director stated that one of their players was offered $1 million dollars by a NIL collective to transfer out of Utah.
“I believe so much in it, I believe it’s the right thing,” Harlan said of NIL. “But it’s difficult to not have an enforcement mechanism when we’re running into someone who is clearly utilizing it, in some form or fashion, as inducement. And we’re not. That’s frustrating.”
