I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are on an idea that just popped into my head re: the new NIL stuff going around non-professional sports.

Does anyone feel like the player's newly acquired ability to benefit off of their NIL is going to lead to more high-level players sticking around their college programs longer than they otherwise would have? Meaning, on average, if players are now able to cash in on their NIL and have sponsorships and make actual money, will that lessen the eagerness to declare for the draft of their respective sport and keep them in college for a longer period of time?

It seems in 2021 the Thayer Munford's of the world who stick it out to the end to get their degree are more and more rare, but now that players will be able to make money while they're in school and playing their respective sport, will we see more guys sticking around past that third year removed from high school than we did previously?

I don't think it's as serious an issue in football as it is in basketball with the one-and-done rule, I think if the NIL stuff trends this way and players stick around longer than they would have prior to it passing it will have nothing but a major positive effect on NCAA basketball for sure.

Thoughts?
