I think there are distinctions here for rev share & NIL
NIL has been what has mostly governed for the last few years with Rev Share (I think) only starting last season. NIL Contracts are generally tied to some bogus reason like signing autographs or promoting some collective. As they were not specifically for playing football, the non-compete had some enforcement issues as the contract itself is not for playing football.
I think the Rev Share contracts now being signed specifically by the schools are for playing college football and likely more enforceable on non-compete. Mensah settled his dispute. Sorsby is in litigation and Desmond Williams elected to stay at Washington because of his contract and worries of a lawsuit.
