In the old days, you were talking about cash payments in the tens of thousands of dollars, a car to drive that was in the name of your uncle or your girlfriend, maybe a no-show job for you or a family member.

Now the players that commanded that type of under the table money are likely making high six to seven figures in rev share and legit NIL. Under the table payments large enough to impact their decision are going to be harder to hide for both parties, and would need to come from the same supporters you are getting the rev share and the legit NIL from.
