We definitely need a group of people who frick up everything they touch to start digging their hands into the muck of college athletics.

That's the solution.

Every day posters come on here an bitch about NIL and how it needs to be regulated/capped. Well, the way that is accomplished is either congress passes laws relative to such, or the players unionize and collectively bargain with the NCAA (or another governing entity).

The state legislatures aren't uniform in their NIL related laws. What you have seen is that in many of the states were college sports (particularly football) are extremely popular, the state legislatures have basically codified unfettered pay-for-play (Not strictly NIL which, at it's core, means a player gets paid for use of his Name Image or Likeness)

If the NCAA tries to set and enforce guidelines to "level the playing field" relative to NIL, those efforts will almost assuredly be litigated immediately...with the NCAA likely losing every time. Remember, on a very ideologically divided USSC the justices voted 9-0 to make NIL "legal".

Does Congress screw a LOT of shite up? Absolutely. But short of the NCAA become more like the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc where there is collective bargaining, the current wild west NIL landscape will continue unless there are some Federal laws that apply to all states.
