I told people on this forum years ago that boosters being involved in NIL collectives was going to be an infraction, and that it was already against the rules.

The entire premise of NIL is dishonest. If what you say is true, then why did the NCAA pass a rule allowing athletic departments to partner with collectives?

On paper NIL may be classified as “advertising revenue”, but it’s literally facilitated by schools & only provided to athletes.

This shite just keeps getting funnier.

Collectives based upon donations either need to be completely illegal, or NCAA needs to admit it’s just paying players & share revenue so it can be controlled.

There is an infrastructure in place with these collectives & that is not just going to disappear. NCAA must go.
