Can someone explain the NIL process a little bit more? It seems like it is still the wild wild west so trying to wrap my head around it. Are the coaches and University able to discuss NIL and offer them deals specifically? Or is it a "3rd party" group that represents the University and offers them the contract? Are these numbers available to see or does it not disclosed? Is it then a yearly contract that can be pulled or extended based on performance within the program? Are there any restrictions at all?
