The Constitution not only gives Congress the ability to regulate it, but heck, the mere specter of it has allowed Congress to regulate a number of thoroughly unrelated matters over the generations.

When we're talking about college athletes being employees and engaging in "trade" that involves other employees across state lines then you have a basis for legislation.

Now it matters how creative they get with accomplishing certain goals. NIL will remain essentially unregulated, but what the commissioners need to do is come up with something that keeps the athletes tied to the school via enrollment or else they may kill the golden goose.

Nonetheless, limiting compensation in any way barring an anti-trust exemption will be DOA.

I'm not that concerned about tying players to schools. I think the main thing is to treat them as much as possible like other students. That means they can change schools if things aren't working the way they want.
