[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3611819, member: 44328"] Technically, the schools won't be paying players (as I understand it)... the players are just free to get an agent, and be paid by those who want to use their name, image, and likeness to promote their interest. I think the principle on which this is based is that the player should own the rights to his/her own "persona" (name, image, likeness)... not the school. Obviously, it's a controversial issue, but I think that is the thinking behind the changes. But I think you are correct in that the NIL issue is a consideration in conference realignment, to the extent that players may consider the conference as a determining factor in how much money they can expect to make. In my opinion though, the primary impetus in changing conferences is money and recruiting (but to an extent, the NIL issue is tied to recruiting). [/QUOTE]
