Other rules that can be implemented: NIL deals cannot be made before a student enrolls in school, and cannot be made contingent on enrolling in a certain school, cracking down on solicitations, and counting transfers against the 25 per year limit (so that a school can have 25 new students, whether freshmen or transfers).

The Supreme Court has taken a pretty dim view of “it’s for their own good” arguments when it comes to restricting student athletes. By all means the NCAA could try, but I do not expect them to be successful.
Now one interesting tact could be non-compete agreements as it comes to NIL deals. Perhaps a lucrative NIL deal could specify exclusivity for a X year period. While the FTC has recently focused on limiting non competes, that may not apply to a highly paid spokesperson.
