Prior to the NCAA allowing NILs, the rap against March Madness (and college sports in general) was that the universities and organizing conferences were getting rich off lucrative TV contracts and corporate sponsorships. Meanwhile, the athletes — who are the show — weren’t paid and shared in none of the spoils.
To some degree, NILs have taken steam out of that argument. For example, USC guard Bronny James is said to have endorsement deals worth $5.9 million, and Iowa Hawkeye Caitlin Clark’s total deals are nearing $1 million. …
