Just look at the WNBA Aces.  NIL is not going away.  It will still play a pivotal role in getting certain players.

Looks like each school will be capped at 21 million dollars to use on their athletes.

I think this leaves a lot of questions.  Are they able then to facilitate NIL deals apart from the 21 million dollars?  I would assume not. I would assume the school would be hard capped at that 21 million dollars.  So any additional funds, endorsements would continue to come from the collectives.

Schools with big collectives will be able to utilize those collectives to pay more players and higher salaries than the less fortunate collectives.

It’s a start, but I think there are still a ton of questions left to be figured out.

Edit: just read the two threads on X from above. The NIL 3rd party reporting is very interesting and fair market value.  That’s an interesting twist.  Another interesting twist is title IX.  Will you have to pay the same number of female athletes and male athletes?  Or will it have to be the same monetary value to females and males.

Personally I think they should split the money up per sport.  That way everyone is playing on equal footing. It creates parity.  You’re going to have some schools that spend way more on basketball than football.  Like the Big East for example. How much do they get.  These schools will spend all the money on basketball while other schools are supporting football too.  Creating a potential unfair advantage.
