No idea how legit this actually is as of right now. Just making the rounds.

Nike has been doing this for years. They can essentially give any amount they want to fund a team.

I really like Nike stuff, except when they employ thousands of Vietnamese children who make about $73/per month

Not surprisingly, the countries that produce the most Nike merchandise pay some of the lowest wages. Vietnam has the most Nike contract factory workers, according to an interactive map on Nike's website. Those workers in 2001 earned the equivalent of $73.94 per month in 2014 U.S. dollars.May 20, 2014

U.S. Factory Workers Make 76 Times More Per Hour Than Workers In Indonesia -

 

[The Q]

Not surprised.

Bowen got 100k as the #12 recruit, if you don't think Duke is paying guys, you're probably naive.

i wish uconn had money to pay guys like this.

But this FBI stuff is just the tip of the ice burg. And if they even turn their efforts to football.......

How much better is China? Trump has stuff being manufactured there.

 

[tducey]

I think these guys should get paid something but stories like these aren't good. Hopefully the FBI investigation will lead to some needed and serious reforms.
