This will fall flat on it's face if they insist on trying to regulate NIL deals.

courts are going to have a lot of action the next 5-10 years.

Yeah, trying to implement a salary cap at this point is pretty much impossible

Sure you can do it from the university funds, but how about collectives and even more out there is external sponsors.

I can see the lawsuit now if the local cookie company wants to sponsor player X and this new entity says no.

But the thing is, no matter how hard they try to regulate it, programs will just try to find ways to circumvent it, and we're right back where we started pre-NIL.

Public contracts would be a step in the right direction where the language is readable by anyone and start going after organizations offering NIL linked to school selection. Businesses hate legal issues.

Frankly I wonder how these lawsuits have merit considering these “kids” knowingly entered agreements to play for an NCAA institution while knowing the rules they had against earnings while a part of their member institution’s teams. If you don’t like it, go play in another league.
