The CSC initially had rejected third-party NIL agreements between Nebraska’s multimedia rights (MMR) partner, Playfly, and the players. Also, Playfly was found to have violated a rule against “warehousing” NIL rights — i.e., paying for the rights to use for some purpose later instead of employing them right away. He said full payment to the 18 players would be made after they fulfill responsibilities associated with the deals. Marketing firms that partner with schools are providing third-party NIL deals that allow schools to exceed the spending cap. ___AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-football
