You know this coming

This is why money should never be all guaranteed up front. In order to see the amount they want, it should be broken up based on games played, etc.

He's probably referring to the money the player gets from the school, not an NIL.

I would think the players at least cede profit-sharing money if they don't play. Likely NIL funds as well.

Would that make them professional athletes? NIL is for name, image, and likeness.. not their performance or lack there of on the field.

They would not be making that money if they weren't on the field. I understand your point. But, I think the counterpoint is that when you aren't on the field, you aren't generating the same amount of money for who is paying the NIL. So, I can see why there should be a clause somewhere that it depends on playing time or health.

Nah. NIL pay can come with clauses that require them to keep up certain standards.

The silver lining though... is that they can no longer quit playing in order to preserve a redshirt year... So we didn't have to watch a bunch of guys "stay hurt" after game four this year.
