I thought his comments re NIL at the BIG media day were interesting. He spoke of how we need to figure out how to spread the money around - QB, RB, WR and maybe a sack star get the $$$, but he asks what happens to the OL players who block. totally understandable through the lens of a coach, but this deal is not about team.....it is about individual. the brand of the team, logos, history is the school brand - not individual.
Day's view is an interesting comment, since the school can't start handing $$$ out to any player or the entire team. the NIL $$$ go from the sponsors/advertisers and others of interest in promoting the value of the player. The athlete then gets the $$$$, which is now taxable income. the player can give out $$$ to teammates but they still have the tax on the income. PJ Fleck had some good insight into this problem.
