That’s the issue in my view.
Many of these schools had huge booster networks set up making then illegal payments to players. When NIL came to pass, the framework was already there to pay players over and above their actual NIL value with the payments essentially laundered now. Those schools actively encourage it without any care or input as to academic advancement.
I don’t believe ND is going to engage in that fashion and therefore will lag in across the board NIL for marginal NIL value players along with requiring actual degree progress.
Believe ND, despite having considerable legitimate NIL value and funds available, will ultimately lag even further than pre-NIL.
