Have you ever seen any local ads with local college athletes, I live in Maryland and never once saw a local college athlete on an ad, but Maryland is in the B1G so I'm sure they have NIL deals.For nationally-broadcasted commercials, advertisers only want to use athletes who are widely-known across the general public. Most colleges athletes aren't famous outside their team's fanbase, unless:
1. They've won the Heisman, like Caleb Williams
2. They're a transcendent talent, like Caitlin Clark or
3. They've built their own following through social media, like Livy Dunne.
It's similar to baseball, in that regard. Unlike the NFL, most college games aren't broadcast on national TV every week.

Soon there will be 35-year-old college players after someone challenges and wins a lawsuit against years of eligibility and it becomes unlimited.Well he is 35 years old with 3 kids! I kid but he has been there for what seems like an eternity.
Caitlin is now dating Jake from State Progressive or GEICO. Or is it "Flo"???I just saw a college player with a real, actual, non-pay for play NIL deal. Armando Bacot did a commercial for Turbo Tax. This is what NIL was supposed to be. Instead we got collectives doing straight up pay for play.
You may be on to something! With athletes no longer committed to a school but to NIL this may happen.Soon there will be 35-year-old college players after someone challenges and wins a lawsuit against years of eligibility and it becomes unlimited.
