This is entirely the problem with NIL. A guy like Heard wants to be a star in college and be paid for football. He then wants to become a high-paid NFL player. He is not focused on a real career, he is focused on being a football player.
I feel that the NIL money is detrimental to too many young men who start to chase NFL dreams and fail to prepare for life after football. They also bounce around chasing NIL money rather than learning to conform, prepare and then perform. One great season at LSU would lead to far more money.
Heard may choose to remain fat and undisciplined but I hope he figures it out soon. I'd be a big fan of his if he stays

If this is really the case then the market will adjust, and we'll see guys start forgoing NIL paydays. Or do you guys not believe in market economics?
Just to be clear: Everyone who says that we need to put restrictions on NIL "for the players' own good"--on the assumption that players are better off having regulators make these decisions for them than making these decisions themselves--is no different from Michael Bloomberg when he banned the sale of sodas bigger than 16oz in NYC. You don't think people should have the ability to make decisions for themselves.
