I dislike what NIL is doing to CFB as much as anyone else but what grounds does the government have to get involved with this? These players are presumably tax-paying adults making contractual agreements with other adults.
I don't see how the Feds can regulate NIL. College football needs to come up with a governing body to regulate NIL if the NCAA is not willing to make rules and enforce them...
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?
