The NCAA is knee-deep in trouble with all the allegations and lawsuits being filed against them. As the alleged facade gets exposed by their players, even former ones, the organization faces the wrath of the NFL community and the nation’s judicial system. The domino of troubles set off when Tez Walker was originally denied a waiver, stating the reason as his multiple transfers. However, the decision was reversed later after North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein threatened the organization, after ‘new information’ came to light.

Following this, several high-profile waiver denial antitrust cases came into being of national importance, as several states were at gunpoint. West Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Colorado, Illinois, New York, and Tennessee were at the answering end. Amidst all of this, a new issue is taking form, emerging like another grave problem for the organization: the NIL. The face that brought it up has the potential to crumble the very foundations of the NIL deal.
