So the MMA gym NIL thing at Miami is the exact scenario we were worried about and were told wouldn’t happen right - that players can make more money being fifth on the depth chart at a school with rich boosters than they can starting at a mid major?

Sure it’s only $500 a month in this instance but what is stopping Phil Knight offering the entire Oregon roster $50k a year? I can’t see any way this doesn’t lead to a very slippery slope - I’m fully in favor of true NIL but this is just paying players under a different name surely.
