The NIL has also brought shady and misleading contracts that the athlete cannot afford to have attorney review prior to signing.

The 'other' LSU gymnast was promised $3,000 to pay $1,500 expenses and pocket the rest.  The check bounced, leaving her with $1,500 bill and free modeling services rendered.

The NIL is absolutely full of scams - there is some company that offers "NIL" deals to players that are really loans where they get some money and then takes a percentage of their professional earnings.   One of the Eagles players signed a deal with them while at UGA (I'd say it's a defensive player but that doesn't narrow it down with the Eagles).  It is costing some players millions because they are winding up turning over something like 25% of their future NFL earnings - one of the state Attorney General's Offices is now going after them and there are lawsuits saying that they are illegal and void for being unconscionable 

It is especially not surprising to find out that the young women are being heavily targeted by the scams - the popularity of women's gymnastics is so much lower than football and there are much lower professional options (by the time women are in college gymnastics their gymnastics careers are almost over) - as a result, there is a ton of pressure for them to cash in now.
