Louisiana Athletics Announces Record-Setting Fundraising in 2020-21

The start of this thinking just happened at BYU. A company signed the entire team, including every walk-on to an NIL deal that will basically pay their scholarships. So now BYU has 123 scholarship players while the rest of the schools have 85.

I thought it was just the walk ons?

We lose money every year. Do you think some recruit wants to come to some ____ty facilities or has to eat at McDonald's?

I remember a number of years back when an NFL draftee said he took a step down in facilities when he left Oregon for the NFL.....

It is for the walk ons and it’s also illegal in many other states. Utah has no NIL law.

They signed the entire team to a deal. Walk-ons get full scholarships paid while other get $1000 if they sign the deal.

Which is the problem with NIL, state laws are different from state to state.

The point I was simply trying to make is that everyone on the BYU team will apparently have their tuition taken care of whether they are on a football scholorship or via some other method.
