If a CEO travels to another state and is simply photographed at a company event, he is on the clock for taxes in that state. What about out of state players still maintaining residency in their home state? Player from NY, playing and getting NIL in Florida. As a NY resident, he will owe taxes to NY, not Florida. It's going to be a mess for some kids. And if a link can be established between recruiting and NIL, a court might be inclined to treat it as all income and simply a shell game source and a pay for play. And then there are those who are not talking about NIL at all, but regular pay for players. Then it's game on, no questions asked for multi state taxes. It won't be clean at all in any event.
