The school can't pay players directly
Yes and no. While they can't pay directly, NIL agents work directly with collectives and coaches. I know one who has every head coach at P4 schools on speed dial and negotiates directly with both on behalf of the players, whether recruits or transfers.

Behind? We have no nil. Smu probably Gave hawkins 3 million alone. Texas gave manning 20 million. Usc Gave Caleb 14 million. Marvin harrison Jr 20 million
If SMU gave Hawkins $3 million then the joke’s on them. Manning is a brand name. Paying oodles of money to him I can kinda understand.

$1MIL/year is pretty standard for 4 star QBs, unfortunately. $2/yr is common. Stetson didn't get a pay raise going from Georgia to the NFL.

All this format will shift again once the schools start paying directly, and then the players have to earn their NIL (at least mostly).

I fully expect this guy to play for someone other than SMU by time he is actually enrolled in college. He will have just picked up a lot of prepaid money along the way from transfer stops.
Hey, at least he will be set for life even if he never plays a down of college football....

We'll probably hear from him in about 4 years or so when he starts lighting it up at Incarnate Word or something along those lines.
