They would have to cover the NIL value plus the tuition. So maybe an extra 30k/year depending on the school? Seems like a lot of increment expense, especially for 25 walkons like BYU, but if you want to win bad enough and have the money 🤷

You could certainly consider that, but also for the big ten, scholarships are 4 year guarantees. NIL is year to year anyway. So at the least, you’re still protected on tuition.

Yeah, good point. Is NIL year to year by some formal “rules” or does it just organically happen that way? My hypothesis is NIL will get more contractually legal in nature - multi year options with cancellation rights, etc.

Or players might not even care if the NIL “scholarship” is one year, if in fact it went away and they could just get the same setup somewhere else. The more I think about it the more I wonder why this has not already become more prevalent.

#2 gross it up. Happens all the time in the corporate world
#3 You can't compete scared like the Guenther regime did. At this point Illinois appears to have good separation between the University and NIL.

Can’t speak for Illinois but the great majority of all SEC programs it is still true. Whether this is an NCAA, conference, or school policy, I don’t know.

So the SEC, trying to get every advantage they can, with some of the most cut-throat coaches in the biz are going to short change a walk-on even though the NCAA allows it? Other than some bizarre or unique circumstance, I don't believe it. That's not how the SEC operates. They have oodles of cash. Someone is going to tell Nick Saban that he has restrictions that Ohio State does not?

It's been open meals for scholarship and walk-on's since 2014.
