Plenty of landmines waiting to go off


Unionization of college players driven by the players not getting big NIL checks?
Issues when male BB players make 20x more in NIL than female players?
Issues of bias if "attractive" female athletes make more NIL money than more talented, but "less attractive" athletes?
Companies getting embarrassed by signing players to NIL deals who then do stupid college kid stuff or mouth off about a controversial topic?
Players signing contracts with troublesome restrictions and outs buried in the fine print?
Tax issues emerging with star players who aren't mature enough to deal well with them?
Allegations of improper recruiting due to promises made to players about their NIL future earnings at a school?
Boosters using NIL endorsement or appearance fees as a cover for money that used to be delivered in paper bags?
And those are just the ones I could think of in a minute or two. Most of them could end up involving lawsuits and/or political intervention.
