Interesting read… more than one UConn SA mentions:

Here's what July has been like for compliance officers

'I think the NCAA will see this as an institutional staff member lining a deal up for a student'

BYU just got all of their 123 players tuition paid with a teamwide NIL. I hope Uconn will get this done asap to stay competitive. This is basically a way to work around the scholarship limit. It's going to be wild in the coming years as far as NIL.

this story will be the exception, not the rule. How many companies do you know out there in CT that will be willing to shell out $50k+ for each and every walk on that’s on the football roster?

Not quite all players getting tuition paid but still wild. All scholarship players are getting $1000. The walk-ons are getting their tuition covered.

"The arrangement -- which is possible due to recent NCAA rule changes that allow college athletes to make money from their names, images and likenesses (NIL) -- was announced during a team meeting this week. All 123 members of the Cougars football program were offered an endorsement deal with protein bar company Built Brands.

Scholarship players can receive $1,000 each for representing the company. The 36 walk-on players on the roster were offered what amounts to privately funded scholarships, although the players will be paid directly and can spend that money in any way they choose, according to associate athletic director Gary Veron."
