I haven't acted on this to this point but was inspired by @SUMG 's suggestion. I am considering donating to sport specific NIL's that would allow me to designate any money donated to players in sports that aren't getting a full ride scholarship. Not thinking of or excluding walk on players but instead partial scholarship players.
Not directly related but see the attached blog that discusses proposed increases in scholarship and roster limits across the NCAA sport spectrum, starting in the 2025-26 school year. Not sure how NT will respond if these proposals are adopted but it would most obviously affect Olympic sport rosters at universities that don't increase their scholarship limits, NIL or not.

That is just naivety on your part...
The most ridiculous thing I ever read from people that were for NIL before it was initiated was hearing/reading people (on here and nationally) literally claiming they can't even afford toothpaste to brush their teeth. People fell for that and the like. It was ALWAYS about trying to get what people deemed to be from lower socioeconomic backgrounds (black kids) money. Or is honesty still taboo? Nevertheless, the attorneys were for it because it gave them cases. The sports media was for it because it gave them stories. The sports industry was for it because it gave them business. The minority of fans that were for it, the people who largely fund this garbage, are wholesale not for it any longer. But now, it's bigger than even them.
