As Will Wade sat on a private jet bound for NC State earlier this week, NC State’s NIL and revenue sharing budget came up in a conversation. It wasn’t the same number he was told during the interview process, so it caught him off guard. But it was in a good way.  Wolfpack Athletic Director Boo Corrigan might have undersold the figure or OnePack NIL, NC State’s collective, was able to bring in even more for the men’s basketball pool going into the transfer portal. No matter how the number came about, it was a total that Wade believed could allow the Pack to be competitive right away.
