The best idea I've heard is that the NIL is loan based..

The school agrees to take out a $500k loan on an athlete and requires the athlete to stay for at least a minimum of 3 years. The athlete is free to transfer at anytime, but if they break the 3 year agreement, the loan must be paid by then. If they keep the 3 year agreement, the school will pay the loan off and the athlete keeps the money from the loan.

If players want money, that's fine, just give them a contract.

Not sure why the P4 wouldn't want that. Right just players have all the power.

I like this with the caveat that if the head coach leaves, they can leave too

I disagree. The commitment is to the school, not the coach.

Terrible idea. Coach leaves, players go with him with no consequences.

Wealthy donors would already be doing that if they wanted to.

Not just fatigue. The Uber wealthy I've met are vicious cutthroat
