My guess is that they were explained what types of NIL would be available once they got there. That is what NIL was supposed to be ... "you come here, we have a wing of our building over here dedicated to helping you build your brand. Get NIL deals. We are the most well known team in America ... there will be NIL for you if you do it right." Not, "come here and we guarantee you $2 million per year." One of those appears to be the way it was supposed to be, the other the way some teams are doing it. Whether that is a violation or not, I have no idea. Seems so, but I am sure they have lawyers that say otherwise.
