Now here is a new (and scary twist). The Player of the Year in Buffalo is playing as a "preferred walk on" for Arkansas St next year. His cost of attending college will be paid by NIL $ !!!. In other words, a scholarship of another color. So what will stop a school with alot deeper pockets than Arkansas St from say paying for three preferred walk ons to attend school for free? What stops a predatory school from poaching a player say half way thru the season and have their second semester costs paid for by NIL $? They cannot play the second semester under the transfer rules, but they are semi locked up for the following year by the new school. Here is the quote re the Buffalo player from the Buffalo news:
"Harrison will continue his basketball career at Arkansas State as a preferred walk-on, but will have his tuition covered due to Name, Image, Likeness, commonly known as NIL. He’s the first WNY athlete to join a Division I program out of high school since Roddy Gayle, Lewiston-Porter Class of 2022, signed with Ohio State."
