Absolutely, and I don't think anybody ever realized it would happen this

way. Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, Caitlin Clark, all doing their national commercials for Dr Pepper or State Farm or whatever, they've leveraged their name image and or likeness, because they're good and they're recognizable. That's what NIL was supposed to be. I don't think anyone ever intended it to be an unknown 18-year-old having a bag of cash thrown at him. But, here we are.

Well, T. Boone is reserved for a reason. He's dead. But, as to people

Great, now I have to worry about the NIL zombie apocalypse.
