It's been going on for decades for professional athletes, pitching products in exchange for money.However, now "NIL" has morphed into something else.  It is now "How much is this athletes abilities and NIL worth to bring to our program?"  They are not just being paid for their Name, image or likeness.  Maybe they need to add an "A" for abilities to "NIL"?  Call it what it is, "NILA".   Whatever they do, if College athletics wants to maintain somewhat of a competitive level of programs, they need to CAP the amount that athletes for each program can be paid, individually and collectively.</blockquote>
