This kid isn’t committing to any school anytime soon, so stop with the speculation. Let’s focus on our really good baseball team,

Nostradamus.

I don’t understand why he can’t understand this concept.

I understand just fine though the example used didn't seem to be particularly relevant.

The NCAA still has a ban on paying players and if an NIL specifies a particular school then that would probably hold up in court when challenged. However let's use this potential deal with Nico as an example. ALL SPECULATIVE HERE FOR EXAMPLE PURPOSES ONLY-

Spyre signs Nico to a big NLI contract contingent on that contract having certain "deliverables". Now let's say that among those deliverables is the requirement that the NIL provide a return value within the state of Tennessee.... or even within a few counties surrounding K'ville. Obviously the "customers" on the other side of Spyre aren't looking for someone whose NIL has limited value with their customers... who happen to reside in Tennessee or even in a more gray area... happen to be fans of Vol football. If the NIL does NOT provide that value to some car lot or t-shirt company or whatever that services TN and/or Vol fans... then Spyre does not get paid. If the NIL of the athlete has no value to Spyre's customers then there's no reason they should have to pay.

There is probably a team of lawyers working this NIL stuff. It’s hilarious to me that some folks on here are arguing that we are breaking the rules.

At the end of the day the athlete is getting paid to have his NIL used in a certain region. In order to do that it only makes sense to attend and play at a certain school. But nobody is paying or getting paid to solely for an athlete play football at a certain school.

Seems to me the only exposure UT would have in that scenario would be if the athlete decided to just quit playing football altogether and live in Knoxville. I would assume there would be some sort of protection there as well that doesn’t violate NCAA rules, however unlikely that scenario is.

I believe I read that one stipulation is that they be enrolled in "a" college and playing NCAA football.
