This is older, but I'm just now seeing it. Not much of a Deion fan, but I agree with him here:
"NIL is not a problem with me, collectives are. Let’s talk about NIL – Name, Image and Likeness. What kid out of high school, that is notable enough that a CEO of a major company is going to lay it on the line for a kid that ain’t nobody know. So it’s not NIL. It may be 4 guys in all of college football that we've seen on a commercial nationally. Collectives, you could be Tom, Dick, Harry and Larry and you just put a bag together, boosters or whatever, whoever does it, and try to solicit these kids to come to your university. Who is that helping? I want the kid to get compensated, I want the kid to be straight, by all means. But you’ve gotta balance the fine line. Is he still going to want it like that when you’ve just given him that and he didn’t have to earn it?"
He goes on to endorse more of a performance-based NIL.
