then than is an invalid NIL deal and it needs to be struck down by the NIL clearinghouse!

I hope so! It's how NIL should be. It's what the rules say it has to be.Do you really believe this is enforced?
If you literally wish one fan happy birthday on Microsoft Teams or Skype or whatever, you're good to go. Hell just chug a Monster on video or say something nice about Culligan water and bam and you're doneDo you really believe this is enforced?
That’s not what the NIL description says, which is (paraphrasing) NIL shall be market based compensation for the use of a players name, image or likeness. So just saying something nice on social media is not worth a million dollars and would not pass NIL muster. But since none of this is enforced, anything goes.If you literally wish one fan happy birthday on Microsoft Teams or Skype or whatever, you're good to go.

If you're doing those things you're being paid to do it, thought that part was common sense. The athletes aren't choosing products or companies at random, usually the guys fronting money want something in return or they have an emotional ROI but need to put something together to make it appear on the up and up. My overall point is it's not hard to make something look legit when its not. #Row the boat Ski-U-Mah big ten network drink sprite, eat Red Savoy, Shop CubThat’s not what the NIL description says, which is (paraphrasing) NIL shall be market based compensation for the use of a players name, image or likeness.

True on the rabid, unhinged fan bases (though Texas Tech is a Big12 school).ESPN is in bed with the SEC
The SEC wants to have completely open, unregulated NIL collectives, because they know almost no other programs in the country can compete with how dog rabid, unhinged their fanbases are about college football and thus how willing they are to crowdfund such mechanisms.
That's what that is.
As far as I know, outside of Ohio State and maybe Penn State (?), this fact has not translated into large NIL collective support.True on the rabid, unhinged fan bases (though Texas Tech is a Big12 school).
But the B1G has a lot more alumni, with a lot more money than pretty much any southern school outside the state of Texas, or maybe UGA. Someone posted that Ohio State literally has three times the number of living alumni of a Georgia. Hell, I bet Minnesota does too for that matter.
