Could you elaborate on your objections?

It seems like the NCAA is agreeing to permit individual NIL licensing under three conditions: (1) no institutional involvement; (2) no use of institutional IP; and (3) market value-capped compensation (https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/committees/ncaa/wrkgrps/fslwg/Apr2020FSLWG_Report.pdf). That seems reasonable to me. Ian Book could be paid to appear in a Basney Honda or Gurley Leep Kia commercial, but he couldn't be paid more than a market rate and couldn't wear his jersey. Likewise, Prentiss Hubb could become an influencer on the social media platform du jour, but he wouldn't have access to ND-produced video.

It appears that the NCAA doesn't think a framework currently exists to permit group licensing (e.g., for use in video games). That isn't surprising to me either.
