I want to know the difference between Deon Sanders - who is the head coach but also works with Barstool Sports and him using them to give the #1 player a 7 figure deal.. But lets say Nick Saban - who owns a Mercedes Dealership using that to do the same thing? Can Nick Saban start offering NIL deals out too? I feel like this could get real messy. Thoughts?
Difference #1: Sanders doesn't own Barstool Sports. There's at least two levels of separation between the coach and the business.
Difference #2: There is a noticeable benefit that the company receives from the player advertising on their behalf.

Alright - with that idea why wouldn't schools set up deals with Barstool and lets say Outkick and have a coach do a podcast like Deon and in return they buy the players? Either way this is not what "NIL" was intended to do. I am all for players making money off their name - but when coaches get involved with a business they work with - that is just bullshite
Also - would Barstool have done this if the kid stayed at FSU and didn't play for Primetime? Absolutely not

Saban has an advertising deal with Aflac.
What if he were to forego any monetary payment from them and instead entered into an agreement with them to pay recruits instead?
