If athletic scholarships are out of the question, then NIL money could at least be excluded from financial aid calculations. No need to punish kids for being good enough to earn NIL money.
I don't think the Ivies will ever engage in NIL payments via "booster collectives," which sound like a dark money slush fund. And these funds might be shut down by the NCAA/feds anyway.
But I fully support students-athletes being able to earn NIL money through things like sponsorships and social media promotions.
