[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 959627, member: 2426"] I think the majority of "NIL" deals related to football have nothing to do with providing compensation for a player's name, image, or likeness. You see a few billboards that do. There are some events for autographs, etc that do. I might be wrong, but I got the impression that the GT NIL group paid the players to participate in fan day autographs this year. If you get outside of football and men's basketball, the athletes actually advertise or participate in things like private videos for kids' birthdays, etc. I am not advocating for direct payments for play, but that is what is happening. EDIT: Also, I don't think I would want deals like this one restricted from a rules standpoint. This is much more like insurance against an injury, only it is insurance against not succeeding as a pro athlete. I think it is a very dumb idea to purchase failure insurance, but don't think it should be illegal or against the NCAA rules. (I don't think people should take out payday loans, but that doesn't mean they should be prevented from doing so.) [/QUOTE]
