College Football Fans Largely Footing the Bill for Colleges and NIL

Name, Image, and Likeness has brought with it many changes to the landscape of collegiate athletics for student-athletes and fans alike.

While student-athletes are now being compensated for their performances in their respective sports, the colleges that these athletes attend have set up collectives where the university and its boosters pool their money in order to cover the rising cost of a superstar freshman quarterback.
