I played at a small school and guys would be around the team and ask us to watch their kid for a few minutes and give us a 20 or 50. I also got some jobs that were actually jobs. Not hard but they paid well. Of course, some free food and drinks as the drinking age was 18. I thought I was in heaven if I got 100.00.

It falls squarely under the interstate commerce clause. They may or may not, but they can.
Ah, the not so fond memories!
I think it’s going to be different this time around.
Deloitte will enforce as they can. Whether there is legal jurisdiction is the next question, but there are more schools that will be willing to turn others in now. I’ve heard it directly. Won’t be the “they’re doing it but so are we so let’s just be quiet” sort of thing.
Absolutely the right thing to do, but I don’t read that the judge is proposing only walkons should be grandfathered in. If you can use the grandfather clause for all current athletes it creates a loophole where full scholarship athletes are excluded from roster limits and programs can bring in dozens more recruited athletes and transfers.

"The bill, if it moves forward, is expected to have three major components. First, federal preemption of any state-based NIL laws. Second, a declaration that athletes are students and not employees. Third, and most importantly, a limited antitrust exemption that would allow the NCAA and the major conferences to enforce eligibility and transfer rules without fear of liability."In bipartisan effort, five Senators discuss college sports compensation
The NCAA has only two viable solutions to its current chaos — a nationwide union or an act of Congress.
No way states are going to allow their congress representatives to pass a bill where the federal government takes away states NIL bills.
Just the way they do it now! Ignore the big cheater's and punish an occasional team for a minor infraction!
I agree, there will be a fight. I think that the Commerce Clause will be asserted at some point because many games, if not most, are played across state lines. Just a guess, though a guess based on history.
