NIL Thread (Name, Image, Likeness Rule)

Here's an interesting lawsuit regarding an NIL deal: Bears Rookie Sues

what an incredibly stupid predatory deal. We'll give you some absurdly specific value now, if you give us 20 times that later.

NIL just gets more and more ridiculous every day. The more colleges move towards a professional payment model, the more they're going to have to move to everything else that comes along with a professional contract.

Yeah, that's the way it's going.

I am guessing that the player didn't read the contract or didn't have legal representation when he signed it. Just saw the nearly 500K. And honestly, that's not in the spirit of NIL, anyway, at least where NIL started. Will be interesting to see if this suit is settled or if it goes to court.
