Finally had time to listen to the Burman interview on Cody Tucker's podcast. Sifting through the weeds, Burman had some interesting comments. Apologies if some of this has been posted before -
Every athlete on full scholarship receives $5000 per year; partial scholarship holders get $2500. However, to receive the back half of the money the athlete must be in good standing and enroll for the Fall Semester.
Hunter Maldonado made over $100,000 in NIL money and was the probably the highest paid MW athlete. UW is still trying to figure out how to build its NIL Program. A sponsor to give The Boys and Girls Club $300,000 to contract with student athletes - including Ike - and others. Burman said they will be working on how to keep athletes on campus once they get here and hopefully eliminate these mass exoduses. Not sure what that would look like other than re-evaluating their recruiting matrix.
Bohl is Burman's boy and can do no wrong. No pressure on him to make any changes. Status quo with the football program.
Great disappointment in Ike. Burman said he told everyone he's good to come back and just wants to get his foot right. Burman tone voice indicated he was full of shit all season long - no intention to play last season or come back. Big rift and pressure in the basketball locker room.
