If the ncaa allowed nil in 2009 that just mean todays college game would have happened in 2010 and LSU buys Dak in 2013.

What are the boundaries?

There appear to be none.

The NCAA position was untenable as soon as they started making millions off of licensing video games whose goal was to accurately portray the teams and players. What the NCAA should have done is used it as a positive tool to benefit the players. MLB had an available model for image licensing where the players get a royalty for things like baseball cards and video games. It amounts to very little money individually per year. But no, the NCAA and their pretend idea of amateurism and greed of wanting to keep those millions made them dig in their heels. This shouldn't have been hard to do. Building a manageable structure would not have been hard.

It has got to change.

When does one quit being a learner and become a professional. How much money have daddies paid to a, "nobody," to teach their kid how to pitch or hit. Has anyone ever paid a, "nobody," to teach their kid how to field a ground ball or a fly ball. Maybe we should start paying them to learn at six years of age.

Maybe Saban believes he is still teaching, how to become a professional.

This is a made up story.

Ok haha

The suit wasn't finally ruled on until 2015 - and the NCAA had 8 f'n years to decide how to handle NIL AND THEY FAILED TO ACT. That's when the states got involved and started approving NIL legislation.

Make no mistake about it - the NCAA had every opportunity after 2009 to solve NIL and they did nothing.

Perhaps, but I see a bigger picture.
