The intent was not that players who haven't been announced as being part of the team and most people have never even heard of getting large NIL deals from a prominent booster of that school. Again, I am not saying that he is breaking the rules (I don't think he is), but certainly this is not...

As someone else mentioned, this is always a concern, but one of the positives I can see (besides players getting a share of the money in the first place) is that those marginal NFL players (and in some cases good ones getting a lot of NIL money), may decide to stop leaving early for the NFL at...

Of course I realize those companies have fans/boosters, but major corporations generally aren't going to let their employees spend money that wouldn't result in some type of positive financial return on investment. The same thing to a lessor extent with local businesses; the NCAA's intent...

He may be doing things within the rules, but the intent was not a scenario like announcing a basketball player that almost no one in Miami has ever heard of getting a $400K deal per year at the same time his commitment announced. The intent was that players could do some commercials, sign...
