Looks like an NIL deal for 500K and a new truck from Toothman Ford sealed the deal for Kerr and West Virginia. Wow

So much for the talking point that international players can't receive NIL money.

Hope it's a cool truck.

I want to know how he is getting that NIL money to this point of internationals not being eligible.

I'm shocked he was paid at all for WVU. He flops all day and night. They Press all day and night. He will rack up 4 fouls before taking 4 3pt shots.. I don't wish Kerr on WVU. Unless Huggins has other plans on how to teach him how to play basketball that Tommy couldn't figure out and that Sean Miller never got a chance to due to the eligibility issue that 1st year.

My understanding, which is painfully limited, isn't that they can't get NIL money - just that NIL gets into they gray area of their VISA status. Articles I've read state most schools encourage international players to not chase NIL until they consult with an immigration attorney and setup whatever NIL they get carefully.

My sources are telling me that over the next to years Kerr will receive 500K in NIL. The international players not getting NIL money is a thing of the past as there are many work arounds. Kerr is getting a truck and the work around on that is they will be using existing photos of him for advertising for the dealership, which technically does not violate his student visa terms.  Team sponsors can have a player film advertisements and sign autographs when the player is not on American soil(Think exhibition games abroad). After 2 years of NIL deals teams know how to keep from jeopardizing international player's visa status and keep homeland security off their backs.

@Bennedunk Melttherim  ,  I'll let you explain how you know Kerr is not getting a 500K deal before I ban you from the entire site.

I don't appreciate being accused of spreading misinformation.

Just came across an older story on NIL. Check out the last paragraph in the link below which talks about West Virginia ranked #1 in NIL deals in the BIG12 with Toothman motors (I reported that they gave Kerr truck). I know it's hard to believe, but Kerr got a 500K deal and a truck. This one's for you BM!
