Harry Rex, I hope you quit being a Hog fan and I'm glad you're not because we don't claim you!

The solution is pretty simple and was already in the rules to start with, just not enforced for some reason.
You can't restrict the players, but you can restrict the schools and boosters. If you restrict the schools and booster, you remove the pay for play element, and still allow them to sign any legitimate NIL deals.
Tell schools the collectives have to end immediately, give a set date, and start treating anything further as a violation. Come out swinging and SMU the frick outta whoever dares cross the line first.
No lawsuit can win against that because the restriction is not on the player. The only thing that the NCAA would face is schools leaving the organization. And if that is what the schools want, then frick em anyway.

Well, since Ohio State always wets the bed in a real game against real competition when something is actually on the line, I wonder what that says about the kind of players they're recruiting that would wanna continue to come back to such a program....hmmmm??

The NCAA brought this system about. If they had taken the bull by the horns and set up a fair payment system for student-athletes, they could have controlled the damage. They let the TV networks earn billions, schools earn many millions and coaches 7 or 8 figures, while the players got bupkiss. They knew that eventually there would be a revolt or a series of lawsuits that would change the system. They kicked the can down the road and resisted a fair system at every turn. They waited for the courts to decide, and here's what they decided. The NCAA is neutered and will never get this bull back in the barn.

Can't blame you. I was all in on NIL as well ... when it was the notion of Kid A going down to the new car lot, for a booster, to get $100/hr to sit and sign autographs and say high to possible buyers. Which was EXACTLY how Brown Brothers Cadillac did it in Louisville, back in the day. For $50/hr.
Now ? I get that it's semi-pro ball. I just don't care much.

It’s not so much that it will be hard to do. It’s that it’s going to cost too much, and they aren’t gonna let that cash go out of their hands.

This. Soon to become just a much crappier version of their professional counterparts? No thanks.

I’ve always heard that several of
The Walton family members went to school
at Missouri and their loyalty lies there. Maybe Arky is having to split Walmart money with Mizzou.

NIL is just a loophole. If they put any effort into fixing the sport before NIL it would only be used for actual endorsements. Now it's just the biggest hole in the boat, so that's where the water goes.

Best solution is requiring players be from in-state with only rare, legitimate and well-monitored academic exceptions for maybe top 5 percentile ACT/SAT guys.
I doubt that would hold up in court, but it has a better shot than the already-tested solutions that others come up with.

No. Honestly ... the idea that the coach could make $10 million, while the TV contract was for $100 million, while you had an entire office in Indianapolis constantly staring and checking and now and then filing charges against a school because Johnny XYZ got a free car was a really, really stupid idea.
The FBI getting indictments on four guys, for taking cash money to ball players to go to this or that school, was an awful idea. It's semi-pro ball.
I went to school on an academic scholarship. Nobody ever told me I couldn't take a side-hustle. They encouraged it. Was part of my education.
