Somewhere it said his coach (?) said the end of July.
I read the register article. I think July is correct.
The article said his personal coach said, and this is almost a quote, “schools have been talking to him about NIL opportunities.”
I am not a dolt to think that does not happen, but isn’t that illegal?

Biliew isn't coming to ISU. If NIL were not around, I'd say we have a shot. Kan$a$ will be able to beat any offer were throw out there by a ton.
This is crazy. Needs to be a 'cap'. NOW. How hard is that for the NCAA to begin voting on or legislating? Is there some law they have that they can't vote on and enact legislation for urgent matters? The original goal of reimbursing players for there name, image, and likeness is STILLthere, but it doesn't have to be that only the rich get richer. Before some of you say, how would you like it if you couldn't shop around for a job and get the highest bid....my answer is, we're still talking about college as in 'amateur' sports right?? Not contracts.

NCAA can't do anything. There's a law that says they can't. Like, a federal law.

To my knowledge, there isn't a law. There is a court case that said they could not prevent players from making money from their NIL. There should be room to make adjustments in landscape around that, probably in terms of eligibility when transferring.

I think it's safe to say they won't be going back that direction (restricting players) any time soon...

Cannot say I disagree with you, but two comments:
1) not sure it will be easy to “regulate”
The power players with big donors probably like this and will resist change for equity. Their path to the best players got easier, and money makes no difference to them. I could be wrong.
2) sure seems like college is no longer an Amateur sport.

I think there needs to be some kind of players union that negotiates with the NCAA or something so that there is some sort of structure to this.

I'm not sure. I think that they dropped/eased the restrictions on transferring as a belated attempt to head off issues related to, or propelling the lawsuit (or potential future lawsuits). While it's clear they cannot enforce amateur status on the players anymore, they should retain the ability to adjust the terms upon which the players can move from place to place, and I think the financial fallout from becoming a complete wild west of transferring will push them to try to do something to stabilize things.

And this would be policed any better than when any payments were considered improper?

Actually, all there are right now are state laws that regulate NIL. No court case and no federal law as of yet. They aren't going to go backwards in terms of the transfer rules. Right now the problem is that technically it is against the rules to offer inducements but a lot of these NIL deals are inducements. While there isn't any language in the contracts it is obvious that they are only getting the deal to go to a certain school. How do you police that though? Make it against the rules to contact any entity involved in NIL until after you are committed and signed to play somewhere? But that likely could be skirted very easily by contacting someone close to them and saying, if he comes here we will give him x.
Sidenote, but I am betting at some point a kid will get scammed by someone and they won't actually get the money they were contracted to get.
