Negotiations are continuing but the deal is going to get done. The Nico camp leaking the information turned tge screws a little tighter on the Bruins to not botch this. Brilliant sneaky maneuver.
UCLA wants to Pay him 1 million a year. He wants 2.
I’m curious whether they are going to require him to do interviews. And make public appearances for the school and for donors.
At this point there are so many athletes on the take that I question the benefit of having an athlete endorser. Or appearances.
Example. Two years ago Caleb Williams endorsing or appearing at my business would have been a big deal. Today paying Jayden Maiava or Dante Moore or whoever to endorse us? General public would be like “who?” What? Why do we care that some kid we’ve never heard of endorses your service? I could better spend the money having my kid endorse us. Would get the same response. Who? lol
Kid is too skinny to make much of a dent in that budget anyway. Give him free reign of the inventory of the on campus pot dispensary and maybe that's another matter

"We ain't got no monies. Nico take a pay cut."
And he wants a cut of all the free pizza they hand out during the game.
