Outside of the Saban, Jimbo, etc topic, the NIL situation might be improved by not allowing NIL deals in a player's first year at a program.

Not sure if I would be on board with extending it to transfers, but I fully support the idea of not allowing players to sign NIL deals until the end of their freshman seasons. Like you said, there'd still be stuff done under the table, but it would have a chilling effect on boosters using NIL to recruit. They aren't going to shell out $200,000 for a 5* after he has sat on the bench his whole freshman season.
