NIL is private money paid directly to the athletes so Title 9 not really relevant.

This is true for the moment but unlikely to be the case much longer. Virginia just passed legislation allowing schools to pay players directly for NIL and other states are sure to follow. Hard to see the NCAA having any authority to stop them at this point and that's assuming they had an interest in even attempting to do so. The white flag is slowly being raised in Indianapolis.
