The schools are businesses Actually ... most of them aren't. However, I'm not saying that I think schools will be eager to sign up for diluting their branding. I'm sure there will be restrictions. I'm just not sure it will be so blanket as to say the school's name or trademarks will never be shown. Strawman. I didn't say the schools would never license their trademarks to brands working with athletes. Most things in this world have a price. But your suggestion that schools will "allow athletes to wear their gear, in exchange for some veto rights" is unlikely. And for the majority of brands working with individual athletes the cost of licensing those trademarks will be prohibitive.

Join the Sunny Crew! Looks like Lexi found at least one model with a face familiar to volleyball fans. www.renathletics.com/thesunnycrewHere's that model I was talking about. She's a natural! The camera loves her!

That's not universally true. Many states have passed different laws. Some of the laws have said that students can't use the names of their schools, but others have not made that restriction. And for those schools that don't have state laws about NIL, the NCAA just said that it's up to the schools to set the rules. The schools still own the copyright on logos etc. and permissions would have to be given. That's not exactly true. The vast majority of FBS (and a big chunk of FCS) schools have contracted out to multimedia rights holders. Unclear how each place will interact with NIL laws.

LSU has a gymnast with over a million Instagram followers.
VB has some catching up to do!

I really can't believe how all these schools are jumping on board with this very ill-advised policy. I predict it's going to become a nightmare for team culture and cohesion, player focus and commitment on playing and team priorities, and a guaranteed plethora of future administrative and legal issues. The ONLY parties that will benefit from this are a very few star athletes and agents and lawyers. In fact, this should be called the "Boundless Opportunity Retirement Act for Lawyers."

Isn't it true though that there is a copyright on objects such as Nebraska's Block N and Texas' Longhorn silhouette, and that permission would have to be received from the school or current license holder in order for an individual to use these objects in a for-profit venture?

How is this going to jive with coaches that have strict social media policies?
If you don't let your player post that bikini pic on IG, you might be hurting her earning potential.

It will only become a 'nightmare for team culture' if there was a weak culture to begin with. Programs that have a strong culture will not be negatively affected by this.

FWIW, I don't see the big MMR companies which rep the schools getting involved with NIL stuff. Big conflict of interest.
I also don't see this having much impact on revenue streams for the schools. Not many athletes with enough wattage to cause a sponsor to shift real dollars away from their existing deals.

The schools are businesses Actually ... most of them aren't. At the risk of sidetracking NIL for something that should be an "off the net" thread, I'd suggest that all colleges are a business. They may be a state institution, they may be a not-for-profit organization, but they are still a business just like the American Cancer Society or the Red Cross. They provide a benefit or service in exchange for payment. They hire thousands of employees, including recruiters who are tasked with obtaining customers who can pay for the service they provide. They buy and sell real estate. They construct buildings. Many own and operate hospitals. Many develop and oversee their own foundation. Many own radio stations, some own TV stations. They have entire departments to oversee financial services for their "customers." And they are very greedy businesses, raising their prices dramatically almost every single year. They cooperate with financial institutions that charge outlandish interest so "customers" can pay for their product. Non-profit? Technically often true. But not a business? Not by any definition of the term I can find. Now excuse me, I have to do my business.
