players, literally profiting by including known players in the game.
A court was asked who owns the rights to player name, image & likeness and the court correctly found that the player himself owns these things.
The video game company immediately shut-down the game.
That's it.
The unexpected side effect of the case was that players then had the right to sell their own name, image & likeness.
Most, like our former AD Sterk, ran his mouth to the effect that 'most of the kids are going to find out they ain't worth JACK SQUAT on the NIL market.' He was retired shortly thereafter BECAUSE...
Boosters quickly figured out that they or businesses they owned, could easily start paying players for NIL per the courts findings and WHO was going to stop them.
Who was going to say these payments were excessive?
No one.
Pay for play via NIL was born and every college program with a pulse was off to the races trying to take advantage of this new development - including Mizzou - who did a fantastic job right out of the gate.
Thus the top ten? top 20? recruiting classes recently: unheard of for Mizzou.
Now, a massive disruption is sweeping through college football as all of the problems of NIL get solved - those programs that solve them the best gain an advantage, perhaps a temporary advantage, but still.
Bottom line: there was no conspiracy. There was no plan by the top programs to do anything. This is just life in a somewhat free country naturally evolving.
And, like the game of football itself, it's up to each fanbase to compete - it's really no more complicated than that...
