Bo Bassett recently opened up about his views on NIL deals amid joining the IOWA Wrestling program for his collegiate career.

In a recent interview with FloWrestling, Bassett stated that even though he has heard several rumors regarding his NIL deals, he is more focused on the wrestling program. Additionally, he also mentioned that the offers he has been receiving are quite the same and comparable. Bo Bassett said (00:14 onwards):

"I can tell you this, I have been hearing a ton of different things at school, at practice, it's kind of crazy and laughable to be honest. I can tell you that obviously NIL is a piece of it but I am more focused on the wrestling."

Bassett remarked further:

"I want to achieve all my goals and do this and that but I can tell you that all the offers have been very comparable and so I'm valuing more so what the program can give me where I want to be with my goals and dreams."

Bo Bassett's IOWA Hawkeyes is one of the most decorated wrestling programs in the collegiate circuit. The Hawkeyes have won 24 NCAA team titles which puts them second to Oklahoma who are 11 titles ahead of them.
