   what it means is, if a company makes an NIL deal with an athlete, it cannot   
   cut the deal if the athlete leaves the team for whatever reason, including   
   opting out of a    
   postseason game/tournament.   
      
   I don't figure there is much to do about NFL opt outs, but I wonder if there   
   is any way to delay the transfer portal until after bowl season?
