Here's what one head coach in the event said about the prospect of having Players Era Festival NIL payments under scrutiny from Deloitte in the aftermath of the event.

With Tyrese Proctor going 49th to the Cavs, Duke's starting lineup was drafted this year, making the Blue Devils the 19th team to have 5+ players drafted in a single year. Here are the other schools that did it, per CBS Sports research. Only a few won a national title.
