Subject: Re: PS Author: sparman [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:45:29 04/17/25 Thu In reply to: M3 's message, "Re: PS" on 20:14:14 04/16/25 Wed With the understanding that the landscape keeps changing, and that rules are undoubtedly more honored in the breach than by observance, under current rules NIL technically cannot be used to pay someone simply to attend a school. The student is supposed to be providing an agreement to promote something in exchange for use of his/her name, etc. This limitation will almost surely change under the proposed House settlement, but it is still the current rule. Also, there are various state laws that may apply. https://www.investopedia.com/nil-and-the-ncaa-8599762#:~:text=College%20athletes%20can%20now%20make,schools%20from%20paying%20their%20athletes.
