Just to be clear Hurley said not one player is at Uconn because of NIL not that no players have NIL deals. Thanks for putting me in the position to defend anything Uconn related Kranmars

I assume everyone thinks their team is Batman though.

Luckily he won that fight. Or was winning before he got snaked. We'll call that character that one ref who keeps jobbing us.
