NIL is buying players. It’s bribery it’s nothing more. It’s nothing to do with NIL name image likeness. It’s about buying players it’s stupid. I hope that’s what he said

I like Deion's message but let's not kid ourselves.  He's playing the game as well as anyone else.

He would say those are the Collectives that are being used for bribery. He goes on to say that basically true NIL is hardly even being used but people are conflating the terminology with Collectives. He seems to believe the Collectives/ bribery are the problem and the NILs (which he says are only being provided to a few athletes across the country -- since you don't see more than a handful of college athletes on commercials) could be used as a good way to encourage athletes to be at the top of their game to get the financial backing from a corporation who will pay them money from their Name, Image, and Likeness. Otherwise, everyone is just using Collectives to bribe better players to come to their programs.

I said that a couple weeks ago.  Where are our Bulls in that space?  Outside of meetups at watch parties where their appearance is to serve the “Collective”?

Dress it up any way you like, it's bribery and pay-for-play.  I understand what Deion is saying (only a handful of athletes have a real NIL deal) but no one cares.  We have the haves and the have-nots.
