Star Center Transfers From Michigan to Kansas Seeking Better Name, Image, and Likeness Deal

  • Hunter Dickinson, Michigan's star basketball center, announced he is transferring to the University of Kansas.
  • Dickinson cited the opportunity to sign a much more lucrative name, image, and likeness contract at Kansas as a major reason for his transfer.
  • At Michigan, Dickinson earned less than six figures from NIL deals and expects to earn significantly more at Kansas.
  • Dickinson's decision highlights how NIL opportunities are influencing players' college choices and creating challenges for programs with fewer resources.
  • Some argue players should not be criticized for seeking the best financial opportunities now available to them.
