Magic Johnson is the latest to jump into the NIL craze. Update: not true

Karl Malone, you are on the clock.

I figured MSU could be a threat here with Gilbert, Ishbia, Magic, and then even some guys like Draymond.

Without looking it up, I think he has hundreds of millions, but not billions.

If you had money like Ishbia, Gilbert, and Magic you have to think of owning a pro team versus bankrolling NIL. There is no ROI on NIL, but your money can make more of a difference. In the NFL and NBA there's a cap and draft and your money can only do so much. But in college your money can make more of a difference. If you are worth a billion then even 100 million in an endowment for NIL can make a much bigger impact than having to pay a GM for example and have to deal with a draft and salary cap. There is no draft or salary cap in the NIL era.

Good then maybe Shaq should bankroll some NIL for LSU hoops.

Ishbia had a NIL deal with MSU but ended it in 2023. Izzo must be against it because that seems like some pretty easy resources to hit up.

Shaq is probably richer in actual money in the bank but Magic is a giant investment spider and probably "worth" north of a billion

Magic is worth 1.6 Billion. Now how much he has available for NIL is another question.

Nothing negative about that. Huge positive for Michigan State.
