Could this be the answer to the NIL/portal mess we have now, and would it work?

The article linked below is from Outkick. The crux of it is this quote from Ross Dellinger:
Bowl Season director Nick Carparelli told @YahooSports in Phoenix that he expects NIL to soon come “in-house” and for athletes to sign binding compensation contracts with schools that will require them to play in bowls and CFP games, eliminating or greatly reducing opt-outs.
If the schools were able to take over NIL from the collectives or whatever, they should be able to require the athletes to sign a contract that spells out the money they get and the responsibilities they have to abide by in order to get the money, just like any business transaction anywhere. It could potentially cut down on transfers (if you leave before your contract term, no money) as well as bowl opt outs. I've never bought in to the "meaningless bowl game" narrative - if my team is playing a football game then it's not meaningless to me - but if all the bowl teams were at full strength, all the games would be better.
I have no legal knowledge to inject here but maybe some of you Ranters do.

Unionization would follow immediately after.
Oh well...

No, it's about like the draft in the military. If they don't want to be there, then you probably don't want them there either. Even without the draft, it sucks when you get stuck being around people who have little care for what they do.
They may show up for the game, but for the most part, the games are won and lost before they ever step foot on the field. It's won in the prep time, the film study, and so forth. You have to go execute it on game day, but if you haven't prepared, your chances of execution are limited.
If they aren't going to put in that effort to be their best in the game, you're better off with the 2nd string guy who will.

That's not NIL, though. That's pay for play, and the athlete would become an employee or, at the very least, an independent contractor for the school. In my mind it's two different things.

The way I look at it is, if a player takes nil and signs a letter of intent then he signed a contract, he should have to play for that school the three to fours years

Could it limit transfers perhaps but with the FTC just doing away w non competes I’m not sure how you could legally bind a player to stay more than one semester.
Will it solve the money? Of course not bc there can be no limit on how much a player makes through NIL.
The only fix for bowl games will be for the bowls to compensate players including offering a winner’s purse.

Bluebloods are desperate because they are losing power.

Universities shouldn’t employ students directly. They can be better served diverting funds to the collective.
