THIS.  1000x THIS.

People keep talking about NIL like it’s a salary / compensation from the schools/programs.

It is NOT.
And per the ruling, it [B]cannot be.

NIL IS NOT ‘PAY FOR PLAY’. [/B]

It is an [B]endorsement deal.  [/B]

People keep referring to all the professional sports and their collective bargaining and salary caps and whatnot,
which ALL pertain to [B]player salaries. [/B]

There is no such thing, nor will there ever be, a cap on individual player [B]endorsement deals.  [/B]

So, until and unless the NCAA ever works out how to have programs directly pay athletes, and not have it completely destroy higher education in the process
(Spoiler - it will.)
there won’t be any collective bargaining/salary caps/yada yada yada for player comp.

And even then - there [B]still won’t be any cap or regulation on NIL. 
Because it is an endorsement deal. [/B]

So boosters will still throw $ around to get the best players they can for their teams via NIL.
