Message: [QUOTE="TheHorde, post: 5234577, member: 12735"] I’m not naive enough to think that the power conferences and schools with large NIL budgets would willingly give up that advantage. But it’s theoretically correctable. The NCAA could set up its own department to funnel NIL requests and deals through. Tyson chicken could still pay players, and could theoretically pay Arkansas players only if they wanted to, but it wouldn’t go through and be cooordinated by a specific university. It’s essentially legalized boosting. We all know that. But if it’s tied to the individual athlete and not the school, that’s best. And if a school is wink wink promising an athlete that they’ll get rewarded by corporation NIL if they commit, then the same penalties could apply that once did for recruiting violations in a non NIL space.
