Nice article.
I will offer that a key to NIL at Stanford might be not jumping in without looking for a solution that will be sustainable; ie anticipate that some changes will be mandated in the not-too-distant future. So whatever model we choose, it should have room to maneuver once the NCAA and other legal/legislative entities clamp down on the third-party excesses.
Having said that, the same folks who "played statue" on this whole issue most likely still think that the Olympics are for amateurs.
A tough pill to swallow, because my Stanford education taught me, among other things, that change is often good and should be anticipated.

They're not?
IMHO, I think it reasonable that the "Olympic" sports allow professionals; the athletes need to find some way to pay for all that training. I think Olympic basketball, baseball, and hockey have lost something going to the professional ranks. Not sure there is a middle ground, though.
2028 will be really interesting with flag football as an official sport and probably populated solely by NFLers. Wonder if Luck would be interested in coming back for a Gold Medal. . . .

they could be like soccer and limit the age of Olympic team players, most are 23 and younger (three/team can be over 23)
