Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4756609, member: 6696"] Players are the only ones who get NIL $. The money does not come from the university. The university can help connect players with business owners or NIL collectives, but exactly 0$ for NIL comes from anywhere in the university budget. 0$. None. Nada. Zilch. No one gives money to the university for NIL, nor does the money allocated to players get distributed by the university. There are NIL "collectives" where groups of private citizens pool their money together--like with the D'Amelio collective. There are also private business who will create separate deals with players, such as Clingan's leased car. Technically, Hurley doesn't really get a say in whether we do NIL "the right way," but I think we can all reasonably understand that the head coach and athletic director are working with donors to create the right deals for players under the table.
