NIL in college baseball will be localized to individual communities, maybe statewide for states like Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

I mean Landon Sims is a known commodity in pockets of the Southeast but no one outside of the Dodgers scouting Dept in Los Angeles knows or cares who he is. Ivan Melendez is probably the best known player in college baseball this year but I bet if you took a photo of him to Manhattan 2% of people might know who he is. Now compare that to Caleb Williams, Spencer Rattler, Bijan Robinson, or Quinn Ewers. They are national commodities known coast to coast.
Im not saying 6 figures like football. But well into five.
