I’m sure you’d be fine with the companies in your job sector colluding. With them deciding if you leave your job, you are barred from attaining employment in that job sector anywhere in the country for a year or even multiple

If it’s illegal to do something against you, it’s illegal to do it against anyone else

High school leagues do this all the time. NCAA football is not a "job", it an activity. They aren't payed for playing football. They are paid to endorse shoes, shirts, cars, etc.

No one is saying that a player cannot switch schools and continue to be paid NIL money. They are just barred from participating in any school-sponsored, extra-curricular activities sanctioned by the NCAA*.

(* - I suspect there would be exceptions. For instance, if you played football at Yale, transferred to Harvard, you might still participate in rowing.)

The situation is too sad to me to enjoy the video. State of college football is a joke.

But changeable numbers does seem like a good idea. Wish we had them when “jersey sales” was the main pitch to open the NIL Pandora box.

Yeah, but it's the right policy. Someone is going to be making money off of the players' names. Should it be the university, or the player?

What would be nice is if the NCAA made a rule where you have to sit out a year (and lose a year of eligibility).
