They can't stop athletes from making money, just saying they need something to regulate how schools can entice players with the use of NIL. I don't think any talk of money or NIL deals should be involved with recruiting. That stuff should only come after a player has signed a letter of intent with a school..

I honestly don't see how that's even legally enforceable. I know people "want" it because they still live in the fantasy world where players aren't getting paid for their work and are student athletes earning their degree and playing football part time (lulz), but it's simply not how jobs and contracts in the real world work. If I want to entice Lebron James to come to Cleveland, are you going to cry foul if you're the Miami Heat? Why do people think it should be different for a young adult?

These athletes aren't an employee of the school, and are not getting paid by the school for their services. If they get NIL money, it comes from the Boosters, not the school. So, if they want to play for the schools team, coaches, and get an education at the school, then NIL and money talk should be left out when they are just being recruited...Boosters should not even come into play until they are signed..

If high school kids want to get an ideal of what kind of NIL money they can expect, then they can talk to the athletes already signed with the school...
