College Basketball Star Reportedly Demanding $1 Million Transfer Price

AJ Storr reportedly wants to be paid like an NBA player to continue his college career.

The Wisconsin star declared for the NBA Draft following a first-round NCAA Tournament loss to James Madison, and then quickly also jumped in the transfer portal.

It seems there's next to no chance he plays another second for the Badgers after 16.8 points per game and 3.9 rebounds per game this season.

Well, a new report about Storr's status in the transfer portal is downright laughable.

AJ Storr reportedly demanding big NIL money

Chas Wolfe of Prep Scouting reported Tuesday night that Storr's asking price is $1 million. No, that's not an error. AJ Storr reportedly is asking for $1 million to transfer.

Wolfe reported Kansas countered with $750,000 to land the ultra-athletic guard/forward, but he turned it down. I've reached out to Storr to see if the claim he wants $1 million is true, and will update if I hear back.

What I do know is Storr is borderline delusional if he thinks he's going to find a program to pay him $1 million. All the credit in the world to him for having the guts to ask, and if he can find someone to pay him, more power to him.

But let's get real. He's not worth $1 million, and plenty of people think the situation is a sign of what NIL has become.

Wasn't NIL supposed to be about making money from ad deals and signing autographs? I thought this was all about guys striking deals based on ad and marketing value?

Now, we just have guys getting paid to play. Let's call it what it is. It's free agency. You can hate it or love it, but players have more freedom of movement than ever before.

Best of luck to Storr moving forward. I wish him nothing but the best, but my jaw will hit the floor if a team cuts him a check for $1 million.
