SEC schools don’t even try to pretend to sign NIL deals, They just collect money through their collectives and pay players to sign for them like they have done for decades.Yup. All I hear is collectives at these schools paying kids. But for what? You don’t see or hear about them doing anything.
I have SEEN LifeWallet ads with UM players. Ruiz is the only one actually doing it right. Pay for work, based on likeness.
The irony in schools with collectives getting no backlash is actually unreal, they’re literally just money pots for boosters to pay recruits.
Only now when everyone is on board and money is out in the open is it corrupt.. and Miami is cheating.
The problem SEC schools have now and their biggest gripe is not money.
They could always raise the money, but they have no companies or organizations that are legitimate to pay for true NILs. So what do they do? they make up a **** called “COLLECTIVES”.
Which is just another term for “pay to play”.
