Serious question. Since the current rules say that all NIL has to be real and not pure pay to play, when we hear LSU has a $30 million NIL commitment, what can that even go to?

This is actually a great question.

The 30 million figure must be a combination of revenue sharing (direct pay) and NIL.

Under the House settlement, revenue sharing is capped. There is no way to secure a competitive advantage over other schools willing to pay the maximum.

Additionally, pursuant to the House settlement paradigm, NIL deals will be scrutinized by a clearinghouse to determine if they are a legitimate exchange of value, and can be challenged.

I believe the new rules start next July. I think it's a great compromise, but there will be lawsuits out the kazoo.
