Can’t all pretend to be pretentious smart schools, that no one wants to go to anymore.

I figured that, boosters would step up, but if you had a Heisman winning QB wouldn’t it make sense to have him as your face?

All this is really because I wanted to see some awkward old TV commercials, but do they even do those anymore? I don’t watch Cable/Satellite anymore, unless the game is on.

I think most schools are erring on the side of caution
I know LSU had some issues come up with international athletes they had to work through as well
Nothing will stop the NCAA for coming back later and questioning something

It's not happening, no matter how many times you ask the question.

Well no shite. I’m just saying you can’t say there isn’t a value to it, so how would the NCAA stop you? I think the NCAA is dying anyway, probably stick to regulating Olympic and other non money making sports.

The 2nd part was, is there any kick arse regrettably awkward commercials?

NIL aside, all DI schools may provide athletes vehicles as long as they're at least ostensibly for getting to class.

From DI bylaw 16.3.4
quote:

A conference or institution may provide...tangible items not included in the cost of attendance calculation but nonetheless related to the pursuit of academic studies

That's part of the end result of Alston vs NCAA. In their appeals, the NCAA complained this means schools can provide athletes with vehicles, even luxury ones, to get to class. The SCOTUS reminded them that, as per paragraph 3 of the injunction, they are free to ask the district court to amend the injunction to allow them to enforce a "no Lamborghini rule" or whatever, but they have not done that. Not yet, anyway.

BTW, the presiding judge in that case is now presiding over a NIL-related antitrust class action that could lead to an injunction against NCAA-wide and division-wide NIL restrictions, so there's that, too.
