Question about NIL

[NYCorange]

Are their any rules at all about NIL and how it's used? IE, could an Alabama NIL give 10 million dollars to Georgia's QB before the SEC championship game to have the QB throw interceptions on every play? Imagine Purdue did that for UCONN players this year.

They could do that before NIL, still not legal.

I think it is for gambling purposes, but not in general that I know of.

I actually don't think it's illegal to throw a game for personal reasons -- ie you hate your coach. But I guess for financial gain is just always illegal.
