NIL isnt about Name, image and likeness. A very, very small percentage are signing endorsements or licensing agreements. The vast majority are getting money from funds set up by the school, without any regulation, that pay the kid just to sign with that school. They are now simply player signing bonuses.

Yes, I agree. But that has always gone on. Just on a much smaller scale. The very top recruits always got extra incentives, whether in the form of housing, money or other benefits. It just spread to a lot more players, out in the open and on a larger scale.

No, it isn't being done in the way it was intended, but very few things are done as intended. Look at targeting, holding and other penalties which are not being enforced properly. It's not surprise that the Transfer Portal and NIL is operating in a way that was never intended.
