Name, Image and Likeness is the buzz because that’s specifically what the lawsuit that went in front of SCOTUS was about. All these coaches saying that you can’t pay HS recruits because that’s not the spirit of NIL and the ruling will be greatly disappointed when a HS kid takes the NCAA to court and opens up the scope for allowing a prospective athlete to be paid.
So all this angst about the spirit of NIL is silly. That was just what the lawsuit against the NCAA focused on. Limit how much a private entity can pay a recruit and see how that lawsuit turns out.
