How so?

What constitutes "out of hand?"

$1M…really. Who do you think is calling the shots now for this kid. Maybe Saban can control this, but coaches that are not named Saban will lose control over these kids. 
 

coach says there is a 7pm curfew the night before a game….BUT those that are paying some kid $1M might want to have a meet and greet at the club that night at 10pm and expect the kid to show up. Who wins that battle?

If the kid is suspended and can't play...that might hurt the company paying him?

Doesn't a few lyrics of this old R & B song sorta' size this subject up?

“Hey kid, let your endorsement partner know you’ll be sitting second string due to your conduct.  I’m sure they’ll be happy to honor your contract knowing you won’t be getting any tv time”

hey coach, we win this game, we win the conference and go the the championship game. Your #2 hasn’t seen the field in 3 years and you are up for a new contract. Win this and you get millions. See you after the meet and greet.

Sure, because every kid benefitting from the new rules is the single player standing between their team and a conference title.  And every coach up for a multi-million dollar contract is doing so with a team with no depth.

No they didn’t.   I don’t think you know how this works?

SMU, the University, was actually paying the players.   That is still very much illegal.  
Now, outside entities can pay kids to use their name/image/likeness in branding.  
It basically removes the need for the old “bag men” that paid guys under the table (also still against the rules)... and just made them virtually legal by providing them an avenue (“using their name/image/likeness”) to pay the players without needing to go under the table.  Still shady, but now perfectly legal.

The schools are partnering with sponsors either openly or disclosed. They're (the school) basically reeling in the money from companies to throw at kids for advertisement space. It's basically the school paying the the player without the University of Alabama as the header on the check.

Y'all do realize Bryce Young, the #1 high school player would bring in 1 million in endorsements at ANY school he attended including UNT.

[UNTLifer]

Too bad Sac n' Save shut down.  That would have been an endorsement mecca for our players.

This is more like boosters giving fake jobs to players like happened with Oklahoma under Switzer (I think I have my facts straight)

Without reading any comments, the title of the thread just made me think:  

 

[keith]

I wonder how much of his NIL value is derived from playing for Alabama.  

[meanrob]

Or maybe Saban is smart enough to know if he says something like this it immediately catches the eye of recruits.

Would love to see a "kid" do this with Saban. Have a feeling that young man would be gone in a second

I know locally here at UCA (FCS), the local Chamber is already handing out $$$ advertisements to about 20 athletes in various sports
