I'm wondering if the fact we have two good guys coming in this weekend and only limited scholarships might have caused him to rethink the wisdom of holding off on his decision.
That's entirely speculation though.
I don't think it would be that hard to police. NIL isn't the bags of cash under the table, it is above the table money being paid to the player. That means that he would either have to receive a W-2 or, more likely, a 1099. Obligate the player to get preapproval from his school and have the...
