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.


So salary caps are anti trust violations?

If unilaterally imposed, yes. The NFL is a monopoly.

However, they get around that because the employer/owners (NFL) collectively bargain with the employees/players union for the the terms of employment. Both the owners and players' union have voluntarily agreed to a salary cap. Thus, it's not an anti-trust violation.
