[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 799895, member: 2299"] No they weren't. Players could make money off their NIL before. They would just no longer be eligible to play. That holds true of the regular students as well, but it doesn't matter because they aren't going to play regardless. It's a standard that is only relevant to football players specifically because of eligibility aspects that are irrelevant to students who don't play football. It's the same thing as when people were making the argument about transfers with the same point. SAs could transfer wherever they wanted before. The issue is with whether they could play the next year at the new place. That wasn't a different standard than normal students. It was a standard only applicable to athletes at all. Anyways for the actual law it sounds okay in theory, but in reality we're likely to see bigger schools with bigger brands routinely have athletes who get bigger checks. Because a lot of the money will be made based not on the NIL of the athlete but based on the brand of the school the athlete chooses to go to. I'm not sure how it will change our relative standing but it at least seems to formalize some of the advantages that were already present. Whether it worsens it remains to be seen. [/QUOTE]
