Sounds good....won't work.

If I'm a wealthy business owner who loves LSU and wants to pay the star QB $2.0M...if he chooses to play for LSU...an outside entity, SEC, NCAA, LSU, etc can't prohibit that. It's an anti-trust violation. The player "owns" his NIL. And he can sell/lease it for any amount.

The only way it could possible work is if the player agreed to assign his NIL rights to the school. But what player would do that when he could make significantly more on the free market?

I get it, you would have to start over and not call it NIL. I know highly unlikely, but I dont see the current construct sustainable beyond the next 2-5 yrs, if that.

I think more HCs, especially when they get into their late 50s/60s, bailing & saying enough of this BS. The current environment has to be incredibly onerous and more time consuming than ever before.
