Fake NIL Clause Sparks Fan Frenzy Over Peterson
20 Feb
Summary
- Fake NIL contract clause about Darryn Peterson spread online.
- Peterson's playing time has been limited due to injuries.
- The rumor highlights fan unease with the new NIL era.

A false social media post alleging a controversial Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) contract clause for Kansas star Darryn Peterson briefly misled fans. The fabricated post claimed Peterson could sub out of games if he broke a sweat and Kansas led by 15 points, fueling existing fan speculation.
Peterson, a projected top NBA Draft pick, has played in only 15 of 26 games this season due to quad cramping, hamstring strain, and an ankle injury. His limited availability, including exiting three games early, has caused concern. Coach Bill Self expressed disappointment in Peterson's recent 18 minutes of play against Oklahoma State, despite him scoring 23 points. This incident underscores the fan base's unease with the new NIL era and the desire for consistent player performance.
