    So What Ends NIL

    Just have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that some scandal or
    horrendous event is going to end it.

    US Congress will get into in and the s**t will hit the fan.

    Nothing will end it. Congress isn't going to touch it with a 10' pole. Like I've said elsewhere, there is no putting the toothpaste back in the tube.

    Only thing that would truly end it as it is now a is players union and the players negotiating restrictions in a CBA. Any other regulations can easily be overturned by court challenge.

    It is like saying "when do the eastern US folks go back home and leave the Native Americans in the Midwest and West alone?" It isn't going to go away. We "tamed" the west because the status quo wasn't going to work. And then you come up with something that at least looks sane.

    When Bama can no longer buy top recruiting classes because of it, Saban will have Congress pass appropriate legislation.

    You can't restrict NIL.
    That would be saying LeBron James can't sign a contract to rep Gatorade. Or locally here, Derrick Brooks(as a player and still does) repping Jerry Ulm Dodge.

    Players will never agree to restrict an income stream outside of their salaries/scholarships.

    Don’t look to Congress to fix anything! Their record is pretty lousy.

    The Internal Revenue Service.

    Wait until a few of these deals end up on indictments and maybe jail terms. Wait until the offerers start getting creative with actual payments and taxes on actual versus perceived value start kicking in.

    Then wait until accountants and agents and money managers get involved with these kids, when the million promises ends up being 200 in the pocket.

    It’ll die. And it will the IRS that kills it.
