Rules are not in place yet. Still a lot of speculation about what it will look like, and the speculation is it won’t be in place until this time next year, which is after the season is over. But, you never know. They could move faster than anticipated. Usually Courts don’t.

Edit: I don’t intend for this to come across argumentative. Just stating what I’ve read. Nothing is set in stone yet, so we’re all just spitballing.

All the NIL madness requires schools to poach players at schools at lower level conferences. Elite take the best in the top 25-30. The next level takes those in the 25-50 range and so forth. The evaluation of players at FCS is critical for schools with limited NIL. We seem to be doing that, and hopeing we get some overlooked, under evaluated talent.

I'm not sure what you don't understand. NIL is not school provided. It isn't tax deductible. It doesn't have a replenishable supply of money other than people giving non-tax-deductible funds. These funds are ONLY provided by people willing to give their OWN MONEY to players to play for a team they support. That money is not inexhaustible. So, eventually, that supply is going to run out. Unless there is a fund that creates NIL payments from the returns on a large principle, it won't last.

Right now, the GTAA (or any athletic association) cannot provide anything to any student athlete other than what is currently allowed by the NCAA. Your confusion indicates that you don't understand how NIL works. PLAYERS CANNOT BE DIRECTLY COMPENSATED BY ATHETIC ASSOCIATIONS. That may change in the future, but it certainly doesn't exist now.
I would say ALL sources of money run out… unless you’re the Fed and can just print more.

Well. My take, for whatever it is worth:

1. The money will never run out.

2. Rules are made to be broken. There will always be cheating going on in “college” football.
I don't think anyone cheats anymore in CFB. This exists only in places where there are rules (and they are enforced).
