Random thought 1. Is there anything to prevent d3 schools giving NIL deals? I know that the schools don't actually give the deals, so I am assuming no restrictions. So are d3 schools doing this? Probably not, but I could see a few with some donors doing it. Be a $100,000 NIL guy at a d1 or come to a d3 and we give you $150,000 plus pay for you school to make the deal $200,000.
Random thought 2. I also assume that Ivy League schools could do this. I would actually love to see Harvard somehow tap into there $50 BILLION endowment interest and create the greatest college football team of all-time in 2024 (or 2025). They could take 2% of that endowment and pay Saban $100 million for one year, add in another $100 million for the rest of the staff, and have $800 MILLION left to pay the players for one year. Get the best 40 players in the nation by paying them $20 million each for one season. Literally have the top 40 draft picks all on one team. Just blow this whole thing up. Ha
Don't argue the numbers on the two random thoughts. Argue the concept.

If you Google it apparently both D3 and Ivy are able to do the NIL thing. Not sure why the Ivy League wouldn't be other than football isn't all that important to them and they're still pretty restrictive with academics even for athletes.
D3's may just not be able to raise the money, but I'm sure some could.
Interesting topic!

Seems like the Ivy League is trying to keep academics at the forefront of their universities and make athletes truly be student-athletes. What a unique concept !!!!!!!!!!

No, nothing keeping from D3's from using NIL... Current NAIA coach... Have FBS/D2 expierience as well. All during the NIL era. Young-ish still in coachign terms...
- Current D3 coach that I know has told me $15 to top guys to help cover bills to get to "fulls" - Top tier D2 collectives offering big time guys up to $250K to stay local... Hasn't worked so far..."lost" to SEC/Big 12 and others still... - D2 "Come here and we will help you level up" is a very common norm these days... Sell the resources.
