00:00A little bit of news this morning when it comes to Cooper Flagg and what Cooper Flagg made NIL-wise in one year at Duke.
00:11Any guesses or do you guys know the story already?
00:13I do not know the number.
00:14You don't know the number?
00:15Any guesses?
00:16$15 million.
00:18For one year at Duke, I'm going to guess $3 million.
00:20Yeah, I was going to say $2 million.
00:22$10 million.
00:23Shyam, any guess?
00:24$10 million.
00:24$28 million.
00:27What?
00:29In one year?
00:30So that is theoretically more than he may make his first season in the NBA.
00:36Well, that's going to be more than his rookie contract because I think the NBA rookie contract is $10 million.
00:40So I just want to ask if that is a good or a bad thing when it comes to college athletes and to sports.
00:48Well, I understand that his rookie contract won't be that much, but his endorsements and stuff will probably end up reaching that number.
00:56No, no.
00:57I'm just talking about the rookie contract.
00:58I know, I know.
00:59But I'm saying like NIL deals include, you know, like if Nike, NIL.
01:03It's insane.
01:04So will it end up being the same because?
01:07Well, he's got the New Balance deal, so I don't know what that is.
01:09Sorry, New Balance.
01:10He's a New Balance guy.
01:10So it's basically New Balance and Fanatics.
01:13$15 million from New Balance.
01:14$13 million from Fanatics.
01:16One year at Duke University.
01:18That's pretty good.
01:19That is really good.
01:20It's good money, but does that mean a guy goes into the NBA wanting to earn his money?
01:26$28 million is shocking.
01:27Isn't that shocking?
01:29Well, because you got to.
01:30He made three times what Belichick's going to make to coach North Carolina.
01:35I know.
01:35Isn't that unbelievable?
01:36It isn't an amazing and astronomical number, but think about this because there were talks
01:44about Cooper Flagg maybe going back for another year, but that would have slowed down the speed
01:51in which he would have been able to get a super max when he does get to the NBA.
01:54So think about what the super maxes are.
01:56Like we saw Jason Tatum get $318 million.
01:59So Cooper Flagg, when he comes to knocking, that $25 million is going to win.
02:03But if I'm Cooper Flagg, why are you leaving college?
02:06Well, that's what I was just going to say, Curtis.
02:07Before every time a great player would go back, everyone's like, but what if you get injured?
02:11What if you get injured?
02:12What if you miss out on your opportunity?
02:14Well, you're still making $28 million.
02:15It's still, why run the risk of going back to college?
02:19You already see what happened to Jason Tatum.
02:21Something happens like that.
02:22Yes, it's $25 million.
02:24$28.
02:24$28 million.
02:25But why run the risk of, you know, putting another year in college when that year could
02:31be going to the NBA, which is a super max.
02:33Wiggy, you get paid $100 million to go to Duke for four years?
02:36That sounds awesome.
