Giving away tickets to a "sold out" show

Comments said someone bought 100 tickets and is giving the 100 tickets away.  
 

The comments also said it was to raise money for NIL?   I’m not really sure what qualifies as players being paid for name, image and likeness anymore.  
 

Also, I’m not sure why I’m putting much stock in Twitter comments either. Lol

I know OM has The Grove Collective.  I’ve heard of other schools’ alumni starting “collectives” to sign players and pay them.  Are the players actually doing anything to get paid that would satisfy being paid for name, image or likeness?  
 

To me it seems like, “hey, sign here, have some money, see you at the game”

Back, way back it was done under the table.

Decades ago when I was a student at State a good friend of my Dad’s would take care of getting the basketball players TV’s each year.

 

One year when State was playing at Ole Miss in basketball, several of us made a road trip to Oxford to see the game. Ole Miss won. Later we were at a party with some OM friends and several of the basketball players came to join in the fun. One of them said, when they got back into the locker room, each one of them found a $100 bill in their locker. 
 

How all this plays out is going to be very interesting over the next several years. But for now it seems to resemble the Wild, Wild West. 
 

Unfortunately, IMO, it along with the transfer portal are going to make for poorer and more inconsistent performances on the field.
