I think the point is, with NIL the player was supposed to get money for using their 'name and likeness' as a way to you know.. earn money. Meaning they would be branded and companies could use them in commercials, their faces pasted all over the place on buses etc. That's what I thought we were getting...
Instead, it's here is the money to go play at this school. It's 'free' money that they have to do very little to get. I don't think that was the intention of all of this, as it stands right now it's just a payment scheme to get a player to make a decision on where to play.

Logan Young should’ve lived during this NIL era.
