If fans want to prevent a player from leaving/transferring or going pro, can they just start a go fund me page to pay him/her to stay?

Are there limits at this point?

I honestly don't know...

No you can't just pay a player for playing a game or for him to stay another year and that is not what this is about. It is all about the player having some control to make money on their name, etc. which allows them to have a youtube page that can be monetized, they can do an autograph signing, or a meet and greet with fans and get paid. As this all shakes out most guys will quickly realized that they are not going to make huge money and maybe they can make a few bucks on the side. The ironic thing about all of this is that some of the most successful guys in NIL are going to make their money in ways that are not related to football.

I understand that their are a lot of crazy boosters out there and they are the ones that you have to watch out for in all of this. The large advertisers are really not going to dip their toes too far into these waters.
