Supposedly there is concern on the part of players about others in the locker room knowing what they're getting. Hence little pushback against the very common NDAs that go with these collective "NIL" deals.
What cracks me up is the bait-and-switch by which NIL was sold by all the columnists and promoters. It is indeed very reasonable that if a kid gets famous by playing college sports, then he ought to be able to monetize that fame. It is another matter entirely to have boosters paying players who are largely unknown to play at their schools, with a sham NIL cover--nobody would have agreed to that had it been presented that way.
