NFL contracts versus NIL

I wonder if any schools (or proxies for those of you that naively think the schools aren’t involved) have attempted to tie up college athletes for more than one year with NIL deals.

It seems that every player being a free agent isn’t sustainable. In the long run it’s bad for the schools, athletes, and fans.

Whether a court would uphold a provision that restricts a “student athlete’s” ability to enter the portal is another question.

NFL has a similar problem with the "new" guaranteed contracts. Once one team does it, IE DW4 to Cleveland, it sets a precedent and becomes the floor for the current market.
All NIL monies are guaranteed based on potential not performance. Once one school gets away from performance based "contracts", then every school has too. It's the wild west and the NCAA is a toothless entity that can't fix, nor enforce it.
If you are a 19-year-old WR and Texas A&M offers you 1 million guaranteed NIL to sign with them, then that's where you're going, unless someone matches it or ups the ante. Your 1 million "signing fee" becomes the floor for your new market demand.
The only thing that stops it at this point is the boosters get tired of paying up front for results that don't pan out. Smart money won't continue to back losing propositions.
Jimbo Fishers last recruiting class at Texas A&M (#1 rated recruiting class in NCAA D1 history) cost an estimated 52 million in NIL money. 4 of that 24-player class lasted more than 2 seasons at Texas A&M, but ALL got their money. Boosters won't continue down that business plan. They didn't get disposable income of that size by making stupid investments. It's simply unsustainable.

There is a Miami basketball player who got a 2 year NIL deal.


"Pack signed a two-year NIL deal worth $800,000 when he transferred from Kansas State in the offseason. Teammate Isaiah Wong has a deal worth at least $100,000 per year. It is a lot, legal and public. Billionaire Miami booster John Ruiz wanted it that way."

Hard to do and enforce

Can a collective stop a basketball player from declaring for the NBA draft? All they can do is incentivize the athlete to stay for the additional year.

For obvious reasons, multi-year NIL deals for football players would not happen.
