Your point about lawsuits and others mentioning NIL and then of course schools being creative for getting around rules. If the NCAA does this then I could see the next move being from schools to get what they want. If I’m a head coach, I still recruit walkons but have them “train” for a year under the guidance of the NIL collective staff (which include former players and coaches). Maybe even have them sign a one year contractor agreement to get some salary from the NIL while they train. So they get all the benefits of trying out for a team, with the only limit that they can’t practice directly with the team that year. It’s just a normal college student with a job in the eyes of the NCAA. But reality could be a new method to hoard talent if the walkons go away. Just random thinking out loud and speculation on my part.
