Good for the HBCU, but when an  NIL is conditioned on the student-athlete (SA) playing for a specific school, it is saying your NIL alone is worth X dollars, but if you play for this school, it is worth (X + nX) dollars where n is a very large multiplier. In effect, the SA is being paid nX dollars to play for the school. This smacks of pay-for-play — I.e., professionalism. Down the road, certain football factory schools will have the money to play this NIL game better than HBCU schools or Stanford can afford (or be willing) to play.

Who could have seen that coming. . . .

Interesting though, in this case it's also tied to Deion. Read somewhere that "his stage is just a little bit brighter." Wonder how much he got for signing him.
