I think the benefits they can get are very limited from a practical standpoint.
The Saban Aflac commercial, the Scott Cochran Regions Bank commercials...what things are missing in those commercials?
Any mention of an association with Alabama. They aren't wearing crimson or an Alabama logo.
Very few incoming college athletes are going to have the name recognition on their own that will garner significant dollars without a mention of the school.
They may be able to use the player's likeness, but the absolutely cannot use the school logo or the name of the school.

This is a good point. There are only a handful of college football players each year that will be able to market themselves alone without the school brand going along with it. Maybe at the local level but those places aren’t going to have the capital to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to athletes for advertising. I think you’ll see players maybe in commercials for small local businesses for a few grand. Maybe players like Burrow and Tua would maybe get national marketing deals but the vast majority aren’t marketable enough on their own. I think the biggest change will be shoe companies signing players to deals in college for basketball
