The NCAA absolutely has a say in how NIL is used for schools in recruiting. I don't have a problem with a kid going out and marketing themselves to make money. Like what Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have done. But schools offering "guarantees" of NIL money to get recruits to come to their school isn't what NIL was intended to do. We saw it with Miami last year and there were all kinds of articles basically saying this wasn't the intention of NIL. But since there were no real rules yet, programs started taking advantage of it.

The barn door for NIL was opened quickly because of legal and government requirements without a good set of rules. So right now it's the Wild West and it isn't sustainable. Maybe some people are comfortable with this model. I'm not. As I said, this isn't what NIL was intended to be used for. It was supposed to benefit just the players. Not a benefit to schools to get recruits. I'm sure the NCAA will work within legal requirements to stop this practice.
