It’s cute that people think these players are actually being paid for their NIL. Ask yourself this, EVERY athlete at major programs is getting paid. How many are you seeing in ads or on TV commercials or doing personal appearances? Yeah, exactly.



Very true. This system isn't anything about actual NIL. And it really isn't about players getting paid.

It most closely resembles a "Bachelor Auction" where the Bachelor gets to keep the money. And right now it looks like you can basically auction yourself off once a year

I can auction myself off every couple of weeks. And keep the money. I am not as in demand, though, as a 5 star QB...but I could indeed auction myself to the highest bidder as often as I saw fit and take my chances. Why a student athlete should be any different is beyond me, absent of a regulatory body with some authority to regulate within the confines of established law.
