It's just another option for the kids that are projects and tweeners to make money and try and improve their draft stock. Look at the two offensive lineman for EIU. Both stayed, got some NIL and moved up their selection in the draft. Before they could have stayed, and got nothing but another another year of school, but now by staying, they are not being penalized because they are getting paid while playing. Before players were leaving to get paid, now they can stay and make as much money as going into the draft, unless you are in the top 15 picks or so.
