I think Jerome Tang might be reason #1 why I'm in favor of NIL and players getting all they can, while they can.
Tang inherits Marquis Nowell (recruited/signed by Bruce Weber) and takes a risk on Johnson with the heart issue - and manages to luck into the elite 8, and gets rewarded with a 7 yr contract extension.
Nowell and Johnson are now minor league pros playing for peanuts, and Tang cashes in on $25 million.
And if someone is dumb enough to pay coleman hawkins $2.5 million - congrats to him, way to go kid, take advantage of these idiot boosters!
