Nobody is going to pay female college soccer players. How many have NIL deals now? Female college soccer players.

That's not really what it's about.
Before with NLI recruiters and coaches promised and unofficially pay players (if you're football player) to get them to sign with a school. Once players signed the paperwork was filled out and it may or may not be what was promised.
With the new version of NLI everything being provided to a player is written down and presented to them before they sign. If multiple schools are looking to recruit a player they'll get to see the exact dollar amount each option provides and can use it to make a decision
Colleges won't be able to waste players time with empty promises anymore. If you want a top player you're going to need to pay them what they're worth.

Another thing to consider is how a "top" recruit will get ranked, i.e. is it based on soccer ability or does the ability to attract NIL money enter the picture? How long before college recruiting services are being supplemented by digital marketing services, building your brand, ramping up your followers and presence online, all while the kids are in High School, or even Middle School ... so if a college has a spot and has to choose between a slightly better player with slightly better GPA vs one who has a larger digital presence and the potential to generate more revenue for the NIL collective ... they go with #2 I think (elite players aside).
I don’t think most of our kids have a “brand”, let alone a monetizable brand that can bring significant cash to an NIL collective.
Sure, I love the idea that my kid will be paid a million dollars a year to play her favorite game. It’s just not realistic.

Obviously $1M per year isn't realistic for any college soccer player, although the #2 NIL college athlete is a gymnast. My point is that the decision criteria may go from ability + grades to ability + grades + marketability.

Any discussion around money and college sports is pretty much just for men's football and basketball. Anybody else that makes NIL money in college or youth sports is just a one-off rare exception.

It's already a bargaining chip for current recruits. It is real & is happening in today's world.
These are valuations based on social media followers. Are any of them getting any NIL money?

Click the name and they list NIL deals.
do you need to join to see the values? I couldn't imagine they are getting anything significant.
9000 players in womens college soccer. 1-2% will get paid substantial money beyond a full ride. My daughter gets about $50 a month NIL money. Dad here gives her more than that. 
There will be new contract used between schools and players that replaces current NLI's. Kids will still get signing days, contracts will still be binding for the year. Heck, courts consider signed napkins by both parties as binding. It will just look different. Soccer parents need to realize the big money is going to male football and basketball players. I'm thinking they will try to separate NIL money from any reference to NCAA since Title IX could come into play requiring women get the same money as men.
I'm just happy to see my daughter play every week in college while getting money for school. Doesn't get much better than that.

Avenue Capital Group eyes expansion in women’s sports, targets WNBA and NWSL
Avenue Capital CEO Marc Lasry said media companies have not yet recognized the value of media deals in women's sports.

Private Equity is looking invest and is in talks with colleges reguarding sports ownership.
Lasry remains bullish on investing in college sports, even as others are eyeing the sector.
“It's the next frontier. You need to have somebody who's going to go first. And what I mean is a school, not a fund,” he said.
And he doesn’t think it’ll take too long before a school does move on one of these deals.
“It'll happen by the end of next year,” Lasry said. “You'll have had a number of them. ... We're working on a few.”

NCAA Releases Q&A Detailing Settlement Specifics In House Case
Although the document doesn't necessarily provide much new information on the settlement, it does give us some clarity on some different aspects of it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Under the proposed settlement, each Division I institution does not have to agree to the terms—schools can simply opt out and not take part. Each school is able to decide whether and how much of any benefit it provides to its student-athletes, up to the “Pool” limitations.
- Each D1 conference can set rules or guidelines for its members on the provisions of the benefits to student-athletes, provided those are done independently and not in agreement with another conference.
- Once a school pays one student-athlete, they are subject to the settlement terms.
- Institutions can not opt into the settlement on a team-by-team basis. This means that if a school opts into the agreement, the terms apply to all athletics programs at the school.
- All student-athletes, even those at schools that opt out of the revenue-sharing agreement, will need to report their name, image and likeness (NIL) deals that are $600 or more, either to their school or the designated reporting entity.
- All D1 scholarships will be equivalency awards and schools can provide any portion of a scholarship to student-athletes (full scholarships not required in any sport).
- The D1 Council will adopt legislation that establishes roster limits for each sport consistent with those reported to the Court as part of the settlement

Vandy QB Pavia suing NCAA over eligibility rules
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia is suing the NCAA in federal court, challenging the organization's eligibility restrictions regarding junior college players.
My player is in the postseason, finishing up his college career as a four-year starter. He has received several player awards and will receive more, but one big change is the new 28-player roster cap.
Some players will have had offers rescinded, rosters will cut players, and many will end up in the portal. Big colleges will be even more selective, looking for more proven players or transfers.
Going down from 32-33 or more to 28 is going to be interesting so good luck to your players and enjoy the games. Will be hitting the road for the postseason at some point so I can enjoy the rest of it and will be interested to see if my player get drafted.
