These days college athletes want to get paid to play.
Reports suggest that A.J. Storr, a former standout guard for the Wisconsin Badgers, is exploring significant Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities with potential college teams if he opts to extend his collegiate career for another year.
According to Chas Wolfe of Prep Scouting, Storr has approached the Kansas Jayhawks with a request for an NIL deal valued at $1 million. However, the Jayhawks responded with a firm offer of $750,000, which Storr’s representatives declined.

Other schools, including Illinois and Kentucky, are purportedly interested in recruiting Storr and are reportedly prepared to meet his financial expectations.
During his tenure with the Badgers, Storr demonstrated his prowess on the court, averaging 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.6 steals in 28.8 minutes per game.
