How? You can’t tell someone they can’t sign a contract to endorse themselves. In sports they cap what they can get from teams. They can’t cap what someone can make in endorsements. NIL is impossible to curtail in the way you discuss. People could do this very thing in the NFL or NBA. I could go to my favorite player and tell them, I will give them 1 million dollar endorsement deal if you go to the Packers. Nothing would stop that from happening.
The only avenue is to put limits on actual pay for play if the schools were giving money out directly. But again, the players would still be able to sign endorsement deals because they are selling themselves.
You missed my point, it's not truly NIL, it's pay for play. Of course, in regards to true NIL, the only limitation is you and what your market is.
Yeah, don't get me started on that 2nd paragraph either. As I posted in a different thread, imagine a world that your business entity had millions upon millions of dollars running through your fingertips annually consistently. And, you somehow quite miraculously, got your customers to buy into to this premise which they pay for your employees raises and promotions, etc., meanwhile reaping all the financial benefits to boot. Quite the utopia.
