College Football's Massive NIL Scam

In July 2021, the college sports world turned upside down. For the first time in NCAA history, players could monetize their “name, image, and likeness” – their “NIL.” A gold rush ensued – but not in the way the NCAA expected.

We discuss the Bryce Underwood acquisition, the Nico Iamaleava situation, Ohio State's $20M roster, and more.
