Texas A & M is poised to sign the highest rated class in NCAA history by the time their 2022 class is finished. They just had their SIXTH Five Start recruit sign .. and a figure has been put out of the estimated NIL dollar value covering this class as being "somewhere between $25 - 30 million dollars". Apparently funded by a group of donors .. they would approach key targeted recruits and offer them an NIL deal .. each one was done via a unique LLC set up for that recruit .. and in order to prevent (or at least lessen the chance) those recruits from going to the portal in the future .. each deal is set up as a multi year deal so "if they leave they leave money on the table". Pretty sure this is a bit beyond what was in mind when the "NIL" concept was established / approved. Certainly makes it hard for most programs to compete .. there is no level playing field.
