South Carolina is quietly reshaping how college athletes get paid, thanks to new rules capping direct payments to $18 million per school—but that’s just the start. While headlines about $25-30 million deals swirl, the real story is a mix of salary caps, NIL deals, and a whole lot of confusion. Athletic Director Jeremiah Donati says schools are still figuring out how to split the money, and agents are pushing for even bigger paydays despite the cap. With the transfer portal about to open, expect more surprises as schools, players, and agents all try to find their edge. How do you think this will change college sports? #Sports #SouthCarolina #NIL
