I don't know how much $$$ we have in NIL, but it seems like Tolle would be the kind of guy you could start to build a program around. I hope we dig deep to match and keep him around.

People keep saying we have an NIL kitty. I'm waiting on a player like Tolle to provide evidence. Thus far any deals from the basketball side say otherwise.
