It was all palm trees and progress for Carson Beck. That was until Lane Kiffin came crashing through. Beck had just started to feel like himself again, especially after the elbow rehab blues. The Hurricanes had handed him a reported $4 million NIL deal,

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin couldn’t hold back when asked about quarterback Carson Beck’s reported $4.3 million NIL deal with the Miami Hurricanes.

Word of Beck's NIL package played a role in Nico Iamaleava attempting to renegotiate his deal with Tennessee, which the Vols balked at and led him in the transfer portal seeking a new deal elsewhere. While that drama goes on at Tennessee, elsewhere in the SEC, Lane Kiffin couldn't help but poke fun at Beck getting big money from the Canes.
