It's become an increasingly common refrain among college basketball coaches since the House vs. NCAA settlement was formally approved in early June. But it also casts doubt over how the newly established College Sports Commission (CSC) will regulate NIL deals as a supplementary source of player earnings, especially those facilitated by booster-run collectives. Entering the July recruiting period, only nine prospects in the 2026 ESPN 100 were committed, including just one five-star prospect, Andrews. Of course, the numbers will increase if the same kinds of collective-backed deals from the last cycle get approved by NIL Go. "Schools aren't going to sit idly by with $2.7 million [for their college basketball rosters] while other schools have double or triple that," one high-major coach said.
