re: The NIL Ruling has nothing to do with the portal. The SCOTUS did not rule on the Portal.

Not trying to be a jerk here but this is flat out wrong. In many places they are unenforceable period. In most places you have to have some sort of protectable/legitimate interest which cannot be "I don't want to compete against this person".

Usually the interests are - Trade secrets, clients, confidential information, etc... the non-compete only lasts as long as those are reasonably at risk and there has to be compensation for it - often continued employment is sufficient but not always. In a college football context it would likely be enforceable to the end of the season or something along those lines.

I'm a lawyer and this is generally true. Even when they are allowed, they usually have some geographical or temporal limits, like "can't compete in this limited area" or "can only last 6 months or a year."

These kinds of restraints on trade are not favored by courts anywhere. Doesn't mean they are always void, but that courts are going to take a narrow view, generally.
