Not if they become employees and not student athletes.

Just so you're prepared

If you make them employees then you have to make every student athlete an employee and if the money is being spread out between all the athletes then non P5 schools won't be able to afford to have athletic programs. Most schools don't really turn a profit on sports. Making the athletes employees is a lose lose situation. Allowing them to be student athletes and make money on NIL is the best we can hope for. I do think there needs to be some actual performance necessary to receive NIL money but that's a different conversation.
