Should a player on an NIL contract have to pay back his NIL money if he opts out of a Bowl Game

[R1Letterman]

They are able to earn money for their name inage likeness without disclosing who is paying what for which name, image or likeness??

I can see in the long term, possibly lawsuits implying complicity between universities and NILs suggesting restrictive actions resulting in a loss of future earnings. Got a sniff of RICO probably in some cases. None of this will end well. Nobody will win in the end.

Nobody will win in the end.

The lawyers will, n’est pas??
But you are spot on. This Tower of Babel is doomed to failure.

Probably depends on the contract….

This.

You can’t force someone to pay back the money if they didn’t sign something legally binding to that fact.

I am waiting for a booster somewhere to finally start putting that in contracts. Wonder how the athletes will respond.

Speaking of lawyers... if the law is the law and the facts are the facts how are some lawyers able to "get more" for their clients?
