Like his brother, Madden Iamaleava appears to already be in hot water.
Wednesday, On3's Pete Nakos confirmed a Front Office Sports nugget from Amanda Christovich that there is more fuel to the fire by reporting the Razorbacks are allegedly not happy with how Iamaleava left the program and will stop at nothing to get what they want.
"Arkansas’s NIL collective has sent two demand letters to players asking to fulfill buyout clauses, source tells Front Office Sports. The AD’s comments yesterday were referring to multiple players who left before NIL contracts expired, including Madden Iamaleava.”
The number the collective is seeking is eye-opening: $200,000
Arkansas has already released a statement regarding the matter, according to AD Hunter Yurachek, without mentioning either brother by name.
"I have spoken with the leadership team at Arkansas Edge and expressed my support in their pursuit to enforce their rights under any agreement violated by our student-athletes moving forward,” Yurachek's statement read. “We appreciate Edge’s investment in our student-athletes and acknowledge the enforcement of these agreements is vital in our new world of college athletics. We look forward to continued dialogue with all parties in resolving these.”
