Every time it does, it likely will be because of one of three scenarios.
Scenario 1
The player and the school’s collective agreed to X dollars over a time period. The collective actually paid Y dollars, with Y being a number lower than X.
Scenario 2
The player and the school’s collective agreed to X dollars over a time period. The collective paid X dollars as agreed upon, but the player had some success on the field and decided he now wants Z dollars. Z, of course, is a larger number than X.
Scenario 3
The player and the school’s collective agreed to X dollars over a time period. The collective paid X dollars as agreed upon, but the player had some success on the field and suddenly representatives of other schools are reaching out to the player (or his agent) and suggesting the player could make Q dollars if he redshirts this season and comes to their school next year. Q, of course, is a larger number than X.
Just think where we'll be with NIL in a few more years.....
Not a fan of how NIL has morphed, but wouldn't this need to work both ways? If there was an agreement (contract?) made by the school or NIL partner then they also need to uphold their side of the agreement? I suspect if the other side lived up to whatever commitments were made, this wouldn't be a story.
