Long time avid lurker, seldom ever post. The topic in this forum hits on some of the problems with NIL and the SC Justice Rehnquist ruling that made NIL possible. He all but forbid the NCAA from setting standards. Therefore, different states have passed laws making something in one state legal and the same inducement in another state illegal. Thus, the call for congressional action (God help us!). One of the first NIL deals was a fitness club in Miami paying all football players at Miami to wear his tee shirt, etc. Within a couple of days of NIL being legalized a donor out west offered to pay the equivalent of a full scholarship to 30+, walkons at BYU which is exactly what the author of the thread is asking and Saban has warned would happen. I don't know if the BYU donor's offer came to fruition or not.
The solution will eventually be some type of interstate commerce decision/law and I believe it will include collective bargaining and employment.

Good post. All correct. If payers are played then acknowledging the athletes as employees in some capacity is what should happen, but I’m not sure I see a clear path to that.

NIL microdonation infrastructure exists now. That is fresh supplementary revenue for the sport. Egregious? Yes, but there will be people who won’t want to see it go away.

What do you do with that?
