If you could, what would you change about the NIL - or would you just leave it the way it is??

Put a cap limit on it across the board and a 3 year "stay" clause. In other words, the player is committed to 3 years and can't transfer with an "upfront" payment being made.
For sure put a cap on it. Maybe even a freshman "slot" where freshmen can't make more than seniors or juniors. An entry level maximum so to speak.
First thing is to get over the hump and have collective bargaining.
Then things mentioned can be negotiated and implemented.
cap and stay. 1 transfer only
I'm not sure I know what "leave it the way it is" means. What are the current "rules?" As far as I know, it's anybody's guess exactly what's going on in the NIL world. Assuming it is actually a free for all, is that a bad thing? Frankly, I don't know.
It may also be true that "fixing" it could result in unintended consequences worse than what we have now. Again, I don't know.
There seems to be a complete lack of transparency about NIL, but that may or may not be a bad thing for college football and the individual players whose business may be none of my business.
Go, Dawgs!
the current law, not a rule allows the players to take money from anyone wants to pay them. per
the Supreme court. they can agree to anything they want to.
Thanks, but is there more?
I kinda sorta knew that Supreme Court decision, but my point is we don't know much at all about how it translates into real life deals, money, influence on the football programs, what players are getting, etc.
I'm not saying any individual player's business is any of my business, but it would be instructive and helpful to have aggregate numbers for position groups, teams, conferences, etc.
Without knowing what's going one (at that level) how could we know the answer to the question, or even attempt to answer the question, posed by @Eastmandawg because we can't compare our speculation about improvement to anything but speculation about the current state of things.
Go, Dawgs!
Since when have facts mattered is decision making on the forum? Don't let that stop you lol
