Two hours after quarterback Madden Iamaleava entered the transfer portal Tuesday, Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek rattled his saber.

Arkansas Edge, the program's NIL collective, is reportedly attempting to recoup significant money from Madden Iamaleava.

The surprise transfers of brothers Nico and Madden Iamaleava have prompted fresh questions about contracts and name, image and likeness buyouts for athletes.
