News and Observer reporters Steve Wiseman and Andrew Carter discuss the name, image and likeness (NIL) era of college sports, which began nearly a year ago. How could the lack of regulations and absence of a true market value for a legitimate NIL deal impact the future of college athletics? If schools were to move to a model where athletes are recognized as employees, how would that impact some schools? They discuss these questions and more.
