Cooper Flagg, the 18-year-old Duke phenom and top candidate for the 2025 NBA Draft No.1 pick, has already made headlines off the court. According to Howard Bryant, Flagg earned $28 million during his lone college season.<\/p>\n
The income comes from endorsement deals with two major companies, taking advantage of new NCAA NIL rules. It\u2019s a staggering figure that highlights the evolving economics of college basketball.<\/p>\n
By comparison, Flagg\u2019s first four years in the NBA are projected to earn him $29 million\u2014barely more than what he\u2019s already made as a college freshman.<\/p>\n
