I think it's pretty likely that they get paid periodically, like with a job.
I'm guessing (but I don't know) that at least part of the $200K was some kind of signing bonus. But that is just a guess.
All I'm trying to tell you is that these things are often not simple. The brothers could *argue* that the schools were in breach somehow. With regard to Nico in particular, there have been some *allegations* that UT did not fulfill their end of the bargain.
NONE of this is to say definitively that some school, particularly Arkansas, shouldn't get some money back. My personal sense is that they probably should. But I know things in the law are often not cut and dried, are subject to interpretations, caveats, mitigation, countersuits, etc.
And I think you are way, wayyy over your skis when you write things like "That means that if Arkansas gets paid for Madden, Tennessee will surely want to get paid for Nico. (and they'd be entitled to it)."
