Since the NCAA allowed athletes to cash in on NIL (name, image, and likeness), the number of basketball players declaring early for the NBA draft has steadily declined. In 2021, 363 players—including international players and NCAA athletes—entered their names. This year, the total has dropped to 106 players, the fewest since 2016.

The NCAA's FAQ on House settlement implementation says that ALL Division I athletes should submit NIL deals. That includes athletes at schools that don't opt in. Also, athletes have to submit deals even if not from boosters/collectives. They just won't be scrutinized the same.
A previous document I saw said that it was up to schools to designate which third-party NIL contractors qualified as boosters or collectives. But the new FAQ says that the College Sports Commission and Deloitte will make that determination. https://t.co/s1KdwszMfb
