College athletes' ability to earn compensation through name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, which began in 2021, has not significantly altered the pay disparity between athletes and their coaches. While a few athletes have achieved substantial earnings, most receive modest amounts, if any. Despite concerns from entities like the NCAA and former President Donald Trump about the impact on college sports' integrity, a professor of sport management argues that misconceptions about NIL policies persist. The professor highlights that athletes have a limited window to profit from their skills, contrasting with the high salaries earned by coaches and administrators, and emphasizes that the commercialization of college sports has long benefited everyone except the athletes themselves.
