Recruits going to draft but still taking NIL money regardless

at the end of the year when you manage the NIL for the upcoming year, there would be players that are declaring for the draft but asking for NIL. so i would spend lots of the money to retain them, just for them to get drafted anyways & the NIL that i spent on them, gone as well... 

this is a ridiculous bug. trying to rebuild a small school with limited resources then being finessed by a bug is crazy. 

if yall would fix the screen at the time of negotiations & let it be known that they're going to declare for the draft instead of it saying they may be leaving due to a dealbreaker would actually make sense.. its like we're forced to guess & more times than not, we're wrong. then money just disappears.. fix the game man. please.

    You should get it back after the first week of off season recruiting

  • for me personally i pull the NIL money off of them before the draft. If i want someone to transfer out or if they are so expensive I dont wanna pay them I pull the NIL money off of them and set them down to zero, that way you get all the money back before transfer portal starts.

    Dang I wish o would have seen this! I just gave my QB 600 NIL to stay and he went to the draft. Literally just flushed down the toilet.

     

    anyone know a way to “cheat” in that list NIL? My brother and I are rebuilding crappy programs and that was basically 1/3 of my budget because I wanted him back to badly
