Two hours after quarterback Madden Iamaleava entered the transfer portal Tuesday, Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek rattled his saber. It didn't matter whether the statement was directed at the brother of superstar Nico Iamaleava, because the message was clear: pay your NIL buyout or face legal action.

Quarterback Madden Iamaleava never played a down for Arkansas before reports emerged that he decided to enter the transfer portal to follow his brother, Nico, to UCLA, and the SEC program's collective reportedly wants some of its NIL money back.

The surprise transfers of brothers Nico and Madden Iamaleava have prompted fresh questions about contracts and NIL buyouts in a college sports landscape looking increasingly like the pros.
