Here is the thing, this whole NIL thing is so messed up in terms of both conceptualization and execution, it is such a lame attempt to still draw some sort of dividing line between amateurs and professional athletes.

Why does it have to be only "NIL"?  If a student athlete decides hey I want to be paid during school year by mowing someone's lawn or teaching someone how to play a piano, I can't because it's not based on NIL.  Why not?  Every other student can do it. it makes no sense.

Why does amateur has to turn pro but a pro can't turn amateur?  What logic is that?  Why can't Lebron James say I am going to retire and I have made enough so I want to experience college, get a degree and play some college ball, why not?  This whole NIL thing is a pretense.  Just let everyone in.  A pro that got drafted two years ago into the NBA can't make the cut and get a second contract wants to come back to college and get paid some NIL and finish a degree, why the heck not?  Let them back in!

Stop pretending this is pure amateurism.  It's not and no one believe it to be anyway.
