Bo Nickal Says NIL Has College Wrestlers Earning $100K–$400K, Even Seven Figures

UFC welterweight said NIL money has reshaped college wrestling pay. “These kids are balling out of control,” he said, noting he graduated in 2019 before it hit “in 21, 22-ish.” Cormier recently claimed top wrestlers make $100K–$400K yearly, and Nickal called that “pretty conservative.” He added, “I’ve heard of seven-figure deals,” saying it’s “insane” compared with many MMA purses.
