That Baylor Scheierman, he’s a good boy, a good basketball player. I heard he got some NIL money. That NIL, what is it? It sounds like a big deal, big money for these young ones.
They say it stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. Sounds fancy, huh? Back in my day, we didn’t have nothin’ like that. You played ’cause you loved the game, not for the money. But times are different, I guess. This NIL thing, it lets these college kids get paid, I hear. Baylor Scheierman, he’s one of ’em. He got $165,000, they say. Lord have mercy, that’s a lot of money!
I heard some boy named Bronny James, he’s got the most NIL money. Playin’ basketball in California. These young folks, they got it good these days. But $165,000 for Baylor Scheierman is good, too. That’s more than I ever saw in my whole life, that’s for sure.
This NIL money, it’s like, the better you play, the more famous you are, the more money you get. That’s what I gathered, anyways. And companies, they pay these kids to wear their shoes or their clothes. It’s a whole business, this NIL thing.
They got all these rules, though. Lots of rules. Gotta keep your grades up, gotta stay in school, can’t do this, can’t do that. It’s not just free money. These kids gotta work for it. Playin’ sports, goin’ to class, it’s a lot for a young person. But Baylor Scheierman seems to be doin’ alright.

I heard some of these college teams, they spend millions on these players now. Millions! It’s a whole different world. It used to be about the love of the game. Now it’s about the money. Big money, this NIL.
They say the first year of this NIL thing, the kids made almost a billion dollars. A billion! That’s a number I can’t even wrap my head around. And Baylor Scheierman, he got a piece of that pie. Good for him, I say. He’s a good boy.
They got people trackin’ all these NIL deals. Keepin’ track of who’s gettin’ what. It’s all public, I guess. People wanna know where the money’s goin’. Seems like everyone’s interested in this NIL stuff.
Some folks say this NIL money is gonna change college sports forever. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t. Who knows. All I know is, Baylor Scheierman is gettin’ paid, and that’s good for him. He deserves it. He works hard. It’s tough for athletes.
They say these colleges might start sharin’ even more money with the players soon. More than a billion dollars a year, they say. It’s hard to believe. But that’s what they’re sayin’. This NIL is changin’ everything.
So, this Baylor Scheierman, he’s doin’ alright with this NIL. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. He’ll do fine. He’s a good basketball player, and now he’s gettin’ paid for it. That’s the way it is now, I guess. This NIL is here to stay, they say. It seems like it’s not a bad thing.
It’s just a lot of money. A whole lot of money. For playin’ a game. But hey, good for them. Good for Baylor Scheierman. I hope he does well. This NIL thing, it’s something else. That’s all I know.
I also hear that over half of these NIL deals ain’t worth that much. But still, money is money, right? Especially for these young kids, just startin’ out. Baylor Scheierman is lucky, he got a good deal, they say.
