Since you asked so nicely (and because a CPA should know how to read a

market report), here are the specific receipts you think don’t exist: 1. The 'Unpublished' Data (NIL Go Report) The College Sports Commission (CSC) released its latest NIL Deal Flow Report on March 10, 2026. This is the clearinghouse for every deal over $600. The Receipt: As of March 1, 2026, $166.5 million in third-party NIL deals have been cleared through the NIL Go platform. The Specifics: 711 deals worth $29.3 million were rejected by the CSC as exceeding 'Fair Market Value.' The Logic: You don't need a private 1099 when the official clearinghouse reports the total market volume and rejection rates every two months. 2. The 'Denominator' (The Player Count) The Receipt: The 2026 NCAA Participation Report confirms there are exactly 5,607 Division I Men's Basketball players. The Specifics: A March 12, 2026, Opendorse study shows total basketball NIL/Rev-Share spending hit $932.5 million this season. The Math: If Kentucky alone spent $22M on their 15-man roster, the math dictates that thousands of the other 5,600 players are splitting the remaining "pennies." This is how we prove the median is only a few hundred dollars. 3. The Rev-Share 'Balance Sheet' (Virginia Tech Specifics) Since you're a Hokie fan, let’s talk about VT's specific 'Invest to Win' campaign (Jan 2026). The Receipt: Per Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski, Virginia Tech is currently allocating 75% of its shared revenue to Football. The Breakdown: Of the $20.5M cap, that leaves $5.1M for every other sport combined. Basketball gets a slice of that, which is then divided by 15 roster spots. The Public Filing: These are university-direct payments. They are subject to FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and are being reported under the EADA (Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act). If the university writes the check, it’s public record. Bottom Line: Yes, this was all AI-derived. I’d charge you a consulting fee for this research, but you probably couldn't afford me. You’re arguing about 1099 privacy while the entire league's payroll is being published in CSC reports and EADA filings. The "garbage" you're looking at is just the scoreboard you're ignoring.

AI does say 'For Division I men’s basketball specifically'**

Okay, so that explains your semantic confusion, but it doesn't mean

The internet. Do you think everything on the internet is wrong?

It's absolutely wrong enough to not trust anything it says.

That's a very subjective answer. Dubious, not always wrong, probably.
