Lol, They are finally figuring out that the University of Texas is all powerful and resistance is futile.
Curious is that’s just NIL alone, or does it also include direct payments that schools are allowed to make?

NIL is worst thing that happened to College football. No teen that has not played game in college deserves million dollars
Can you provide a source, I am not finding anything about that.
Gonna be hard to cap an athletes NIL earning potential. Take Texas and Arch Manning for example. How could the NCAA or Deloitte stop him from making 15 million in NIL with his relationships with Red Bull, Viori, Waymo? And then how would they go on to limit the rest of the team to making no more than 20 million in NIL from other legitimate deals?
They already have a mechanism to make sure the deals are legit via Deloitte, so how could they stop legit deals if they go over a team cap?
There is some truth to what you say. Some of what these guys are getting without proving themselves on the collegiate field is out of whack. The deal that a player like Ojo got is silly.
On the flip side, you are talking about the top 100 individuals entering a labor force for companies that produce 10 billion in revenue annually. If you think of it like a business and not a NCAA sport, it makes sense that the work force would be highly paid and highly sought after, with big signing bonuses.
The current issue is de facto pay for play. Like Ojo, Cody Campbell throws him a huge check to secure him playing football at Tech, despite his true NIL value being much less than what he is getting paid. The Deloitte process may help weed some of this out but I have little hope they can block these deals without creating new issues (and new lawsuits).

When it first introduced,couldn't they place stipulations as long as player sits on bench plays minimal
Couldn't be thousand instead of millions. Even in workforce if don6 produce,you may shown door. Reward players like Arch,Collin, Hill,Taffe
No NIL deals could include stipulations regarding what school a player attending or what they did or did not do on the field. Of course, those making the NIL deals found ways to tie the deals into picking a certain school but that was not allowed by the letter of the law.
Why limit these guys to thousands if people are willing to pay millions? Arch, Collin, Hill Taffe are all probably worth millions. Ojo, probably not, at least not right now. But how do you fairly legislate that? You can't. If someone is willing to pay a certain amount for a service, how can you limit that? It is what the NCAA is trying to do via NIL Go and the deloitte process.
And you are right, if players don't produce they can and will be shown the door. They won't get an NIL deal the next season if they underperform. Teams can pull scholarships, players can be encouraged to transfer out.

Long answer short, nothing is changing. 3rd party collectives can still pay whatever they want to players. Deloitte won't be able to stop it.
Yeah, there is no cap on NIL, the 35 million is a hypothetical number. Only revenue sharing payments directly from the schools is capped.
