Perhaps fear of being abducted and cut into pieces would motivate players more than NIL money?

Andrew Luck should go there. Get PIF interested and the money might come pouring in. I'm not sure what financial return Stanford could offer though. Maybe put some Saudi company logo on the uniforms? Supposedly NCAA is going to allow company logos on uniforms next season if approved.
