I know we are in Nico overkill but

I think it could be different in every situation. I don't think many of them are "contracts" per say. Meaning that in a lot of cases the kid can take the lump sum money and run without consequences.

If you could double dip, guys would be transferring three or four times a year.

The portal window closing and the fact that the kid would never actually get to play prevents this from happening.

Neither school paid him anything. That's not how NIL works. Athletes aren't getting paid by the school to play. They are getting paid by advertisers for the use of their name/image/likeness.

I’m not in Nico overkill. I wish there was an ongoing thread with updates for every college that passes on him.

The collectives pay these guys. The "actual name, image, likeness money" via advertising are now side gigs.

I'm sure the collectives have some sort of clause in there about guys transferring and how much of the money is guaranteed.

Last I saw NIL contracts can't start before the player is on campus(maybe signed) and they all by default have to end when the player leaves school.

If this is accurate and still true, he remains taking the idiots on-line courses, attends whatever interview or kids hospital visit required, and finishes his 9 hour spring semester. Pay that man his money.
I'd be willing to bet that all NIL requirements occur during football season and nothing or very little after spring practice. I bet he's still in school, but not in Tennessee.

You let enough of these fat cats get burned by some shyster handlers of these kids and they'll start leaning on their local congressman to get this shite fixed.

True. The use of collectives brought at least SOME order to this madness.

In its original iteration, the school was supposed to be completely hands off in this process (nod,nod,wink,wink). Seeing the futility of trying to enforce this separation, the school is now permitted to COORDINATE with the collective by encouraging donors to contribute to the collective and, no doubt, advising on who they want and how much of the collectives money should be dedicated to that athlete.

Lump sum payments would be extremely foolish and I doubt many exist. In at least one collective I’m told, the stream of payments ends the minute the athlete hits the portal.
