The collectives need to be a little more inventive if they are not going to sack up and sue these people.
Not every athlete goes through a collective though. Student-athletes can market themselves, cut deals and contract outside of an NIL collective any time they choose.

Collectives are not the only groups capable of using escrow accounts or getting inventive. Jim Bob's lawn care of Morgantown, West Virginia can write the same type of contract.

Require the athlete to mow a 10ft portion in front of the business every 2nd Thursday afternoon during football season and pay them for the commercial. You get paid 1/20th of the contract for each appearance or something. Makes it pretty hard for the athlete to up and leave to Los Angeles and keep getting paid.
