Given that Nico was asking for $4mil and that SEC by-laws somehow prohibit transfers to other SEC schools (surely some labor lawyer could have gotten an injunction here), I think UCLA's offer was likely lower and the best Nico was going to get.  Wasn't the rumor $1mil?

The SEC does permits intraconference transfers.  However, the player must sit for one year after transferring.
