In Lane Kiffin's eyes, the latter is the most popular usage of NIL, or as Kiffin called it, "pay-for-play." "This is a disaster coming because you just legalized cheating, and you just told donors they can pay the players is what you did." The Ole Miss head football coach also noted that players are understandably taking advantage of every negotiating period they can. "With NIL, you’ve got a lot of pay-for-play going on, and that is what it is," Kiffin said. "I’m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it."
