It's probably more complicated than it would seem.  For example, I think there are rules against using other team's scholarships for revenue sports.  And I think there are differences when someone is deemed a "recruited athlete."  Probably makes sense to look through the Andre Drummond situation.  Unless there is a carve out that stops someone from specifically using NIL (which would be really hard to show), the Boneyard told me that Drummond was eventually allowed to be a walk on and Michael Bradley kept his scholarship.

Here is a newspaper quote from the following thread:  [URL="https://the-boneyard.com/threads/andre-drummond-tells-the-story-of-how-he-became-a-walk-on-at-uconn.181763/"]Andre Drummond tells the story of how he became a Walk-On at UConn[/URL]

"[I]Roughly halfway through the fall semester, UConn's compliance staff determined that it was within the rules for a recruited player to decline a scholarship and play as a walk-on. So the change was set in motion. Bradley was back on scholarship and Drummond officially became a walk-on.... [I]This was a complicated issue that took much of the semester to resolve," said UConn spokesman Kyle Muncy. "Once it was, Andre felt it was time to share."[/I][/I]
