I think where the Wild West is occurring right now is that while college teams can't directly pay players, I think they are engaged in doing these collectives where fund raising is going to a NIL pool that is paid out to players for appearances and such.   So when you hear things like 'They can offer more NIL money' is that the collective there has a bigger pool of resources.At least that is my understanding.   The 1st is pretty easy.  I think the 2nd piece is basically the universities just paying their players in a roundabout way.</blockquote>
