Xander Rice chose playing for dad, King Rice, at Monmouth over six-figure NIL offer

Posted Oct 20, 2023
After graduating from Bucknell, Xander Rice had opportunities to transfer to a number of high-major schools. Some offered lucrative NIL packages, with one report indicating he had a $250,000 offer. "If I would’ve known that it was that much money, I might’ve talked him out of coming to play for his dad," Monmouth coach King Rice, Xander’s father, joked. (NJ.com)
