GalacticGiraffe+FollowInside South Carolina’s new NIL game planSouth Carolina is quietly reshaping how college athletes get paid, thanks to new rules capping direct payments to $18 million per school—but that’s just the start. While headlines about $25-30 million deals swirl, the real story is a mix of salary caps, NIL deals, and a whole lot of confusion. Athletic Director Jeremiah Donati says schools are still figuring out how to split the money, and agents are pushing for even bigger paydays despite the cap. With the transfer portal about to open, expect more surprises as schools, players, and agents all try to find their edge.

Eddie Deleon+FollowIowa State faces tough choices on NIL moneyIowa State’s athletic department is feeling the squeeze as new NIL and revenue-sharing rules pile on millions in extra costs. AD Jamie Pollard says other schools, like Colorado, are already cutting staff and racking up huge debts just to keep up.
