re: Help me understand why NIL recruitment inducements aren’t bribery

He is an employee there and being paid as such. With Collectives they are not employees of them.

Why are you hung up on the “employee” thing.

A paid spokesman is not a “employee”. If you listen to a sports talk show or a podcast and they read an add they are not “employees” of that company.

NIL stands for name image and likeness. The collectives pool money from some boosters to ultimately pay the players for their NIL, in effect it may be a “pay for play” but there is something else involved. The player is a spokesman for a certain company or they appear at a business location promote a product on social media etc.
