      Boosters have long paid star athletes under the table. Off-the-books compensation is a routine part of the recruiting process, though not all of it is paid in money. Once a recruit is on campus, athletic directors sometimes arrange no-show jobs.
      • Boosters(wealthy supporters of a team) have been secretely giving money or gifts to star athletes.
      • Some are given fake jobs("no-show" jobs) where they get paid but don't actually work.
      • Even though athletes are not allowed to have agents, some still do it secretly.

      . And schools are still, for the most part, not allowed to directly pay student-athletes for their work. And the new NIL policy mainly benefits the more recognizable athletes.

      The author is trying to use logic. This reiterates that athletes don't get paid and the new NIL rule is not enough, but it is a step in the right direction.

      The first is fairness. College players are unpaid laborers who generate millions of dollars for others.

      The author does not show references or source of information. How do I know that players generate millions of dollars and they don't get paid for it?
