Then they did the Cougartail sales deal but that was a donation to the program but the deal was announced and communicated to the players in a way that made it also sound like NIL?

That is convoluted beyond reason

Yep they said they were putting that into a fund that KS controls.

It was always the deal that it would be used for player development at KS’s discretion.

Don’t think so at all. I remember the announcement & the words “player development” used. Pretty clear.

Anyone can donate to the program. You could say here’s some money to use for player development.

I don't entirely understand "player development" but of course there is a limit

What do you think is player development? It’s not handing cash. It’s equipment, locker rooms, study rooms, nutrition +.

it certainly could be handing out cash too. with more cash and less need to go

Kind of true, kind of not. What about all the donors giving cash to players before NIL? What was in it for them?
