# College Football Insiders Reveal ‘Secret Economy of NIL’

*This is the third story in the series Turf Wars, documenting how the pay-for-play era exploits many athletes.*

Sports agent Henry Organ answered a call in September from a mother looking to protect her son. Rated among the top 20 high school football recruits in California, he had committed months earlier to play for the University of Oklahoma. A team official had agreed that he'd be paid $300,000 his freshman year, his mother said, as long as he stopped visiting other schools.
