next month. From what I gather, that $20.5M can change year to year in the direction of an increase. Three years from now, it could be $22.5M. NIL can still be a thing in addition to the $20.5M, but it has to be a real NIL (not money in a bag) deal at fair market value. NIL deals have to go through a clearinghouse to get approval. Any NIL circumventing from that clearinghouse will be punished by this same clearinghouse. Any NIL deal, such as signing autographs, that are way off a fair market value can be punished or withheld, even though an appeal process can still be had.
