This is what a lot of schools are doing to establish a base NIL pay. Plus the elite players get their pot increased based on production.Alright so this is borderline acceptable on this site but here goes. Wouldn’t it make more sense to take all NIL money raised and evenly distribute it across the board for all 85 scholarship players? Is that not what the University’s agenda favors and what this generation of kids stand for? It would only make sense from them to walk the line for what they stand for. Just a random Sat am thought
This makes perfect sense, if the elite players realize it's a team game and their production is dependent on other team members help.
I actually agree and have been a proponent of that all along simply because I don't look at it as 85+ individuals... I look at it as one team. So I don't see it as socialism. But hey, the cat's out the bag now. Not sure it can be put back in.Alright so this is borderline acceptable on this site but here goes.

Example .. I think it was Nike who would give ever OL that signed with Oregon 65k per year plus more if said player was chosen all-conference / all-American. I am sure each position has a different base NIL pay .
Have you got some published information on this? I'm not trying to put you on the spot, but I would like to further educate myself on how this "system" works.
Here is some of what I've been reading - would be interested in hearing your thoughts and takeaways.

They aren’t profiting of their NIL, they profiting off the fans desire for their team to succeed. No one is buying cars cause Juice drove it. Who holds the spot light? ESPN don’t care if people are in the stands. They can fill them in digitally.
Thanks. I'll be looking at some of this in my spare time.Here is some of what I've been reading - would be interested in hearing your thoughts and takeaways.
While some NCAA athletes cash in on NIL, others lose out
Star athletes at Division I schools are earning big payouts from the NCAA’s interim name, image and likeness policy, while athletes playing minor sports at smaller schools struggle to make sense of it.www.insidehighered.com
Nothing—Not Even Congress—Is Stopping the NIL Era
The NIL era isn’t going away, mainly because we’ve always been in some form of it. But even appeals for congressional oversight aren’t likely to alter the system in the way the NCAA wants.Profitable partnerships: Athletes, NIL and the evolution of TV revenue sharing
In professional sports leagues, athletes receive around 50% of all revenue including TV licensing, ticket sales, merchandise and more, which annually amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. If we treat college football like the NFL in regard to TV revenue, referred to as Broadcasting NIL...
And let the schools or their representatives stay out of it altogether. Let it work strictly along market principles, based upon the player's own marketability.
Capitalism!
That's right. Do like Spencer: take the linemen out to Hall's once in awhile.
To get them on the field at certain schools, some are extremely overvalued.

Congress And The Tipping Point For The NCAA, NIL And College Sports

It is out of the bag and for all those NIL proponents....please don't say a word about any defections we have. College football is ruined as long as this persists.....there is really no argument. If you think the NFL is better now than in 1992 (for example)...then you probably do love NIL...but you are still wrong.
Mike Gundy did an interview this week and said every player on their roster gets 1000/1200 a month. The big guys get more.
Yes, I understand that. The reason we're here is because of the legal fiction that they are profiting off of their NIL. If you attempt to limit a player's ability to do that to his fullest extent, by requiring NIL earnings to be split equally among teammates, sooner or later, somebody will sue again and likely with the same result. A payor can establish an equal-share distribution among teammates if he wants to, but you're not going to be able to restrict players from negotiating independent deals with payors/boosters. Chaos will still reign.
I was always on the side of a player in the past. I was against sitting out a year for transfers when that was the rule. For instance I believed guys should be able to transfer without penalty if say their coach leaves. I had to rethink that stance when money became a factor. Guys leaving for more money in college sports is just plain wrong imo. Now I want to see sitting out a year back as a rule. It's probably the easiest thing we can do to undo some of this mess anyway, I can't think of the players interests anymore when imo it destroys the sport itself.
