By BBC World Service

A year on, Will Bain explores how it’s shaken up college sports, providing opportunities and unforeseen challenges.

Hear from former SMU college football player and professional artist Ra’Sun Kazadi, Texas A&M University Athletic Director Ross Bjork, CEO of MSP Recovery John H Ruiz and Courtney Altemus of Team Altemus, part of the advance group of NIL advisers.
