If we refuse to have collectives “bid” on players, the next best thing we could do is create pools of money devoted to specific positions.
As an example, I floated the idea of “small” doners of $100.00 to $5,000.00 doing group ads on a subscription calendar focused on the O and D lines, aka, A Big Blue Wall calendar.
No one would ever contact a recruit: just buy tax deductible business advertising space, and make all proceeds equally divisible amoung all scholarship linemen.
Maybe that would average $30K per lineman, without specific regard, during recruiting, to who fills the slots.
When line recruit “Bubba” asks about NIL, Marrow can tell him that there is a base NIL amount available to players who fill that particular scholarship slot, and more can be earned by outstanding play/fame from other deep-pocketed advertisers.
