Incentive laden NIL deals

I don't believe a performance based NIL deal is illegal. What gave anyone the right to tell someone how they are allowed to earn a living? That's what started this mess.

If I sign a contract with Nike paying me a million bucks if I get 500 points in s season. Or 1000 over two years but at the same school, you think someone saying no will be able to win in court? Show me a win in court violating a Nil deal?

The basic concept of NIL is that the NCAA had no authority to restrict any student’s ability to market himself. I don’t know what the present NCAA regulations state, but the collectives were established as a matter of convenience to the students and to allow schools to protect the students from any shady dealings (gambling concerns, for instance). Without any meaningful enforcement, however, I’m not sure if any collective activities are being monitored.
 
NIL can’t be tied to playing (and therefore performance). Rev share is a contact with a school to play, so it can have playing incentives and penalties for bad behavior etc, but I haven’t seen a rev share contract to know what’s actually in those:
 
NIL is performance based, but not on the timeline that fits in season team success. The one exclusion is players in their final college season.


By many accounts, the NIL pool has doubled this post season but most of our players that went to the portal are staring at even or lesser deals than last season at their new destinations.

Essentially a 100% performance haircut.
