Well duh, giving a 17 year old a multi million deal the reward better be high to go with the risk

How it works is up to interpretation, and might differ from how it is supposed to work.

In the article, The Athletic says that they are keeping the name of the athlete confidential in exchange for being able to actually read the contract.
What is their motivation to just make this up?

Clicks,subscribers.Either the writer actually believed this load of garbage or he wanted some type of "scoop"
What's the reason CNN continually runs phoney stories?
It happens every day especially on the interwebs.

The chances of this being make believe are quite low. This is the result of the current NIL world.

College sports have been ruined

Yeah, the infusion of big money has never ruined anything.

It's far more likely that 10 years from now we hear horror stories about how athlete x is still in debt from one of these NIL's despite having had a lucrative career.
Anyone who actually bought that agents were simply fighting for the rights of poor exploited college kids to be paid utterly deluded themselves. NIL has never been about paying exploited labor. It has ALWAYS been about agents finding a way to get themselves a cut early and their hooks into an athlete for future contracts. One of the reasons AAU is so rotten is due to the practice of agents doing anything to get in with future professionals. Now that college athletes can get money now, agents are going to grab stables of high school college prospects and pimp them out at an unprecedented level.
Other than guys like Arch Manning who comes from a football family and ones known for being particularly savvy about agent deals and the business end of football, kids and their parents are going to get milked for all they're worth.
By the time they figure out that they've sold the most valuable part of themselves (most of an athlete's wealth doesn't come from his player salary), it will be far too late.

False. Nick saban would probably be worth 20+ million dollars a year to the university of Alabama as a whole.

I hate that kids are making millions for being good at high school sports. Wish we lived in a world where they had to prove themselves in college first. But hey good for the kid

The attorney that drew up the contract apparently is with a Colorado law firm. He is Mike Caspino of Brady, Vorwerck, Ryder & Caspino.
Another search result indicates he is an attorney in Irvine, CA. I can not find a link where he is associated with UT.
