Seems like player contracts are the only option

I mean at some point the school and its NIL arm will realize it will have to protect its investment. Contracts probably aren’t too far in the distant future

I think you will see the schools that live up to what is promised will continue to get talent. Schools that cannot twill struggle because players talk. We are now multiple years into the NIL/P4P system. The kids know who pays what is promised and who doesn't.

It is the only option. Just like the NFL sign them to a contract. Pay them PER GAME. If they opt out, then no pay day. If they have a confirmed injury diagnosed by an independent third party perhaps they could be paid for games missed due to said injury. Hold a percentage of the agreed contract amount as a holdback for post season play. If they opt out of a bowl game, they don't get the holdback.
The UNLV QB is a prime example. Make them under contract to a team and if they break the contract any monies paid are to be refunded. If the player refuses to refund the money, sue his arse, get a judgment and a lien on any future income.

Eventually, I think there will be a players union, a collective bargaing agreement, and an NFL style draft of some kind. What form the draft takes, I am not sure.

So if a kid that plays at Alabama signs an NIL deal with Mercedes, who is responsible for paying? Mercedes or UA? And if, for whatever reason Mercedes doesn't pay, that is the University of Alabama's fault?
Some people need to figure out how NIL works or was designed to work.

Contracts with buy outs would clean all this up. It’s scary when SEC Rant knows better than the NCAA

problem with contracts is that at that point they become defacto employees and that will be the next thing college athletes use the courts to get more benefits like the Dartmouth players are doing by unionizing
the scary thing is no one knows what the end result is gonna look like

I disagree.
All the NCAA has to do is prevent boosters from making NIL deals. The court ruling only applies to the players, it says nothing of boosters or the schools themselves. A player would still be free to get any legitimate NIL deal, however it could not be used as pay for play as boosters and such would not be allowed to do them.
Not really that difficult, was already in the existing rules and the biggest question is really just - why didn't the NCAA enforce them.

Only work if everyone does it and if everyone does it it’ll be some sort of collusion and therefore the courts will end it. An individual school or NIL Cooperative can do about anything they want….they can’t collude. Those that do require such language will be at a competitive disadvantage to those who don’t

College football just handled the NIL thing all wrong.
There should have been penalties for the players that hold them to standards within the contract itself. Including, but not limited to, staying clean, out of jail, performing, and staying put at the school they signed with to get the deal.
In the end, the players still need college as a stage for their "talents" to display to the NFL. So, the deals should be tailored in a way that protects any investment in life.
