Alabama became the latest school to launch a subscription-based name, image and likeness entity in which fans can contribute money that gets paid to players: 'Yea Alabama' (or yea_ala on Twitter).
Alabama became the latest school Thursday to launch a subscription-based name, image and likeness entity in which fans can contribute money that gets paid to players.
“100 percent of subscription fees generated through Yea Alabama [go] directly to University of Alabama student-athletes,” the school’s press release said. The NCAA still maintains that players need to perform a service in exchange for NIL payments they receive, and that NIL contracts cannot stipulate that a player attends a specific school to receive the payment.
“I think one of the solutions would be if you have people that are representatives of your school that give money to a [third-party NIL] collective, then the collective turns around and gives it to players on the team -- money, I’m not saying opportunities to represent, I’m saying money -- then that collective should become a representative of the institution and they should not be able to give money to a player, just like an alumnus can’t give money to a player,” Saban told ESPN.
