I mean, I get that, but failing to see how it’s any different than an NIL program paying a bunch of good players to be walk-ons to keep them away from other schools.

If you can’t see the difference then I can’t help you

In one situation you’re paying someone to play for your team. In another, you’re paying someone on another team to sit out and not play. It’s very different actually, which is why it’s a felony.

You’re overthinking this. This will nit be a concern of NIL, just like it’s not a concern in professional sports.

Texas could pay oklahomas entire oline to just transfer to the Sun Belt or something. It seems preposterous but it seems possible.

Honestly IANAL, but I am struggling here also.

Based on the statute posted, how is paying players to play for you not also bribery?? And why exactly does the "how" explanation only go in one direction?? Additional context please
