We’re seeing athletic departments now having to innovate and find more creative ways to open the door to new revenue through different types of sponsorships and athlete partnerships.
LSU is planning to sell jersey patch sponsorships, per @NOLAnews. Pending NCAA approval, the jersey ads would generate “multiple millions of dollars a year" for the Tigers.

“LSU ‘hopes the NCAA will allow schools to sell patches on their jerseys.’ In the event the governing body clears it, the Tigers project they can generate ‘multiple millions of dollars a year’ doing so.”.

Great point, we currently have no visibility into the penalties surrounding non-disclosure other than a general threat to eligibility.
The era of 3rd party NIL payments to college athletes not subject to review by NIL Go/CSC is over (at least for now). The question now is will all 3rd party payments be disclosed going forward?. Will likely be the hardest thing for the CSC to police, just as it was for the NCAA.

This is big. We’re seeing a huge trend of public records requests by media and other parties to obtain details around specific athlete’s third party #NIL deals, and language like this is essential to protect athlete privacy.
North Carolina's governor has signed a bill into law that includes a public records exemption for #NIL contracts. Here's the specific language:

Common misconception. Public records requests have been used in the past to obtain #NIL contracts that athletes disclose to universities for compliance purposes, even when those deals are with private third parties.
@onuss_ Every other public employee and public grant recipient is subject to public records laws. We know how much their coaches are making. Why should athletes be different? If you take public money, taxpayers deserve to know how much you are getting.

“If the audit finds that the cap should have been greater than $20.5 million, court intervention could be involved. All of this may not affect schools this year, but it could impact them in the future.”.
As House-NCAA settlement takes effect today, a lead lawyer for plaintiffs says his side is exercising its right to audit school financial figures that are basis for revenue-sharing cap. Steve Berman: "We have questions about the information we’ve gotten."

“The former federal prosecutor … estimated it would take two to three years to work through the kinks of this new system before anyone could fairly judge if the CSC was successfully fulfilling its mission.”.
