A Beautiful Story Out of Indiana

[colbert17]

I'm one of those old timers who doesn't like the whole NIL thing....until you hear a story like this. There will be one Hoosier I'll root for this year. At this time of year when it's supposed to be about giving, God bless this kid.

Indiana’s Anthony Leal pays off sister’s student loans with NIL money

Anthony Leal, a junior on Indiana’s basketball team, stepped up big for his older sister Lauren’s Christmas present.

That's very generous of him, regardless of how he got the money to pay her debt.

No doubt about it. What a kind, selfless act. I love how he just sat there beaming with happiness at his sister's joy. His response to her statement about not knowing how much it was: "I know and it's zero now". Awesome family moment right there.

Does a player who barely plays get that much NIL money?

He was 2020 Indiana Mr. Basketball so he's pretty well known in that state (which takes such things pretty seriously). So his name carries some amount of weight even though he doesn't really play much for IU.

He’s been facing lower body injuries the last couple of years unfortunately. Wish his career panned out at IU, maybe his senior season will show some light

That is a nice story.
