Pretty sure SCOTUS has ruled paying a public official is only a bribe if the payment is made in sacks of unmarked bills or gold bars by a curly mustachioed man, with both parties being recorded stating their names and the corrupt purpose for the bribe.

I think the current NIL fig leaf of paying players for their "image rights" would pass muster just fine.
