Can non scholarship players receive NIL money?

but obviously their NIL prospects are going to be FAR MORE limited.

Depending upon the school's NIL capacity, that can make the scholarship limit meaningless. What's to keep them from giving a non scholarship player a large sum of NIL $ and letting the player pay tuition?

In theory I suppose, but...

from a practical standpoint, in general, the only players who are going to receive a large sum of NIL $ are those highly recruited prospects, and other programs (i.e., the competition) will be offering both NIL $ and a full scholarship. May be more common in some of the non-revenue sports like baseball that receive fewer scholarships compared to football.

The school's NIL capacity is $0. Schools don't pay NIL.

NIL is an agreement between an individual (athlete) and an entity/business.

Gee, who could have ever predicted that might happen?

other than everyone, I mean.

Plus, a comment lower down about taxes, All NIL money is taxed because it's income.

I think with D1 baseball?

Said yes, but is somewhat a shame that players that are using nil money because no scholly (like in baseball where they are severely limited) have to pay taxes on that money.

I player can "walk on" making enough NIL money to pay for his college thus not burning scholarships.

A mega rich school could literally have as many players on the roster as they want if someone willing to pay the bill for walk ons

Some schools are already doing that. Every walk-on on BYU's football team has an NIL deal that pays them the equivalent of a full scholarship.
