Arkansas’ NIL collective has sent two demand letters to players asking to fulfill buyout clauses, Front Office Sports reported on Wednesday.

This comes just a day after Hogs AD Hunter Yurachek took a stand in support of Razorbacks collectives who have been put in difficult financial positions because of players not fulfilling their contracts.

“The AD’s comments yesterday were referring to multiple players who left before NIL contracts expired, including Madden Iamaleava,” FOS sports business reporter Amanda Christovich wrote.

On3’s Pete Nakos confirmed the FOS report and reported himself that this is related to two freshmen transfers, one being Iamaleava, who is joining older brother Nico at UCLA.

According to Nakos, Arkansas is demanding close to $200,000 back from Iamaleava.
