Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 4323693, member: 191"] NIL is separate and apart from any compensation plan the NCAA might do. NIL rights belong to the individual. SCOTUS said that the NCAA can't curtail the student athletes' right to make money from their own individual name, image or likeness. I think that the ONLY way (labor lawyers jump in) that this could be done is through unionization and a collectively bargained agreement between college athletes and NCAA/member schools. For instance: in exchange for salary, health care, retirement, etc. the members give over their NIL earnings, to be split up a certain way (say 40% to the kid, 30% to the school and 30% to the NCAA.) This could also provide some trade-offs for transfer rules, academic eligibility, etc. Just my $.02. [/QUOTE]
