There is only one rule- players can't get paid for play...

NIL money has to be for some type of service rendered. The service can be anything (like VT players allowing their NIL on t-shirts that Triumph sells), but it has to be something. It's never been easier to pay college players, and yet some folks still screw it up.

VT757to276 • 02/01/24 09:50 AM ET
Can debate what players "deserve", but Scholarship is less-than min wage?
HWA • 02/01/24 10:35 AM ET
Football was in all honesty 4-6 hours per day of our time spent.
VTGungHO • 02/02/24 09:24 AM ET
Shocker, but you can't spell investigation without TN.**

uber hokie • 01/31/24 07:06 PM ET
My guess is something behind the scenes that hasn’t been made public yet.
hokieball • 01/31/24 01:31 PM ET
VT does it's NIL the right way, and I would guess UVA keeps it honest too.

tallahasseehokie • 01/31/24 11:24 PM ET
Sure, but players are getting paid for play.
HWA • 01/31/24 09:12 AM ET

Summer 2023, the Vols were fined $8M by NCAA, a bit more than $12.37
HWA • 01/31/24 12:13 AM ET
The 8 mil is pocket change for them. They deserved a lot more. **
uber hokie • 01/31/24 06:58 PM ET

LonghornHokie • 01/31/24 12:08 AM ET
Everyone in college football is doing it. It's not an SEC thing.**
