re: So the fans are expected to pay for the players?

If you think even for one second that athletic departments will not try to pass as much of that expense as they possibly can off on the fans, then you are absolutely delusional.

The players will “work” for them. Basically advertising stuff.

Agree, so make the NIL a binding contract that the player needs to fulfill or repay the org funding the NIL payment.

Where do you think the money to pay professional athletes comes from?
Largely from TV contracts. Begs the question of why ESPN with all their equality and woke narrative is not being asked to foot a higher bill to pay this disadvantaged athletes.

And where does the $ from TV come from? Advertising which is paid for with increased prices to ALL consumers for products and services. That 10% + advertising and marketing budget + staff isn’t free.
Those advertising dollars that the marketing departments of corporations use to become "The Official Sponsor of *insert pro league*" would be used in other forms of advertising/promotion. Your point is null & void.

The point is that the consumers pay for all the advertising and marketing with increased prices. Nothing is free.
