Does Zach Edey have an NIL deal?
The 21-year-old Edey is in the United States on a F-1 visa, which allows a person to study at a university for a certain period. It also means that Edey can't get paid from any NIL deals unless he is physically in his home country.
During Purdue's trip to Canada in December, Edey teamed up with Daps on a name, image, and likeness deal.
While the opportunity to put some extra coin in his pocket is appealing, Edey didn't consider it a big deal.
"Not particularly," Edey told USA TODAY Sports. "But now that I am getting paid, thinking back on it, it was ridiculous that we weren't getting paid. At the time, the only thing I was focused on was my basketball, as it is now."
