I don't begrudge players getting paid for commercials or branding items - they contribute hard work and talent and deserve to be compensated. Those in NY could also benefit from the proposed athlete injury insurance pool (if NY Senate Bill S6722B passes). But the broader concern is that, without a proper statutory framework or useful guidance from the NCAA, a patchwork of rules (if any) will develop in the various states. And as many of us know, when money sloshes around, the people benefitting the most and wielding the most power probably won't be the athletes. My worry is that NIL will be a vector for current underground, pseudo-educational SEC-style pay-for-play schemes, widening the resource gap and bleeding into recruiting, the transfer portal, "performance conditions", and beyond. Personally I'm happy to buy a Buddy-Buckets Tee Shirt. But I also recognize that poorly controlled NIL is a lot more dangerous than people think.
