Just reading on the early season tournament in Las Vegas.

Alabama plays in the Players Era at MGM in Las Vegas.

A proposed non-conference basketball tournament seeks to expand Name, Image and Likeness money to a new level next season.

For that reason, some of the sport’s best teams may be extended an invitation. On3 reported that Alabama, Duke, Florida Atlantic, Houston, Kansas, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State, St. John’s, Syracuse and Virginia are all on the list of potential participants.

The tournament, slated to be held in Las Vegas in November, will offer up to $2 million in NIL deals to the players that participate. The tournament is expected to host eight teams in 2024 and expand to 16 teams in 2025.

According to On3 sports, each team invited would get a $1 million guarantee in NIL money, which would be shared either with the school’s collective or NIL arm. The money would be shared with the players for that team.

The tournament’s winning team would get another $1 million in NIL funding.

Anyone else deeply uncomfortable with this? Especially in a tournament being played in fricking Las Vegas.
