[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 814056, member: 2426"] I don't share that concern. I see two ways that this could be used. They programs could set up NIL income for mid 3* or less players who would be walkons or they could set up NIL income for higher 3* or 4* players go get more better players on the team. The schools are already prohibited from "setting up" NIL contracts. Schools might cheat, but they aren't allowed to be involved in them. So, let's look at the two scenarios: Would a player who is not able to get a scholarship worth advertising if he has no audience and value on his own? Would fans who want to support their team put money towards a walkon level player, or would they want to try to support the start athletes? If a walkon brings a huge TikTok following with him, he could make money. If he developed a huge following on his own, he could make money with or without a college football program. Would a player with multiple scholarship offers go to a school that doesn't offer him a scholarship, but does offer to setup enough NIL income to cover his tuition/books/room/board? If he attended a school that offered him a scholarship, he would have all those items already paid and would be able to keep any NIL income for himself. Would he make a lot of money at a school like Alabama? Even if he is a 4* athlete, that would mean that they have at least 85 players they think are better than him, so would the majority of NIL money go to him or to the 85 people perceived as better than him? If he went to Tulsa, he might be among the top few players there, have his tuition/books/room/board completely paid for and make advertising money on top of that. [/QUOTE]
