TBH I dont think there is a rule against this or it would have been mentioned by now. Like the rest of the NIL crap, everyone is learning as it goes and everyone just makes up the rules as it grows.

I think if teams start taking 4 and 5* walk-ons with NIL deals then finally the NCAA will step in do something.

What if teams stop giving scholarships to freshmen? What if freshmen are given a 1 year NIL deal to pay for their scholarships and other expenses and during that first year if they pan out they get a scholarship? Or, the scholarships can be given to kids in the portal? The scenarios are endless and it needs to be fixed ASAP!

Can’t wait to see 15 or 20 more 4 and 5 star guys put the Bama hat on the first week in February. They will be signing NIL contracts instead of scholarships. When they unzip their jacket, they will look like a NASCAR race car with sponsor logos everywhere.

Do what exactly? How much can they change and still have it pass muster in court?

It seems to be forgotten that letting players make money off their name and likeness (way overdue), for being the backbone of multi billion dollar industry, was a legal ruling and cannot just be scrapped.
