NIL question here. Is everything a one and done deal as far as these NIL deals go or, are there multi-year contracts? Is it like the NFL where some are one year deals while others are multiple years?

I wonder that too, but I've also heard of multi-year agreements it seems.

I think the Drama in Pajamas deal was 8 million over 4 years, or 2 mill per year.

Which was why the dad wanted to renegotiate because the market on a "starting QB" had went up since the deal was inked.

I’m sure multi-year deals can be negotiated. Duke is suing their QB for entering the transfer portal due to the fact he still has one year left on his two-year contract.

A player can have multiple NIL deals with multiple terms. I think since, as of the 2025 season, that the ability of schools to pay revenue-sharing has also opened the door to paying them for NIL rights. The NIL agreement in contention is between Duke (not a collective) and Mensah, which designates him a contractor with a non-compete agreement, and specifically not an employee.

Whereas NIL has been ruled by the NCAA to NOT be pay for play or even attending a specific school or being an athlete, the Duke TRO that was granted rests specifically upon:


And the court grant of the TRO:

This will be really interesting. The new dynamic here is a school openly saying the ’independent contractor’ shall not be allowed to enroll or play for another school in violation of such terms. As if the NCAA doesn’t even exists, as NCAA bylaws expressly prohibits such agreement. The quiet part out loud; there is no school or athletic agnosticism with NIL agreements as that association is the only thing giving the athlete market value.

It is great, just like the end of slavery and Jim Crow. The difference is now instead of cotton, the question is ”who will pick my SIX!!”.

Anytime an unjust system is ended, it’s great. SCOTUS likened the NCAA to an illegal cartel…think about that. It’s a mess to unravel because it was allowed to persist so long while everyone became blind to the corruption. Now we can’t unsee it.

Now young adults who play sports will have the same rights of mobility and earning an income that every other student, scholarship or not, and everyone in the AD and school admin have. Wishing for that not to be the case is exhibit A of how deep the corruption ran.

Well I think it can also "suck" in the sense that for fans it is very difficult to change. We (or I) loved the fact that college was not pro, kids in general played locally (ish) and at least by the rules they were not "taken away" by big wallets (although we know it happened frequently). The unknown of the current situation is very tough to be a fan of. But absolutely, the system we had for years is forced labor. Conferences and athletic departments were making hundreds of millions off athletes, forcing them to play college football (yes, forcing as the NFL coordinated with college football to eliminate any other viable option) for no where near their market value. While it is frustrating to see kids leave after one year, which one of us would take a job that made us stay regardless if it turned out not to be good fit, or if it was misrepresented to us, or we hate our boss BUT that boss was allowed to leave at any time? I believe in time it will settle down and people will understand it and embrace it more. There will likely be a way to induce loyalty and decrease the portal chaos that still is fair to the athletes.
