This probably wouldn't affect football much, but an international student on an F1 visa is not allowed to earn income. They can receive passive income, so a Collective throwing free money at them was probably fine. But with the new rules requiring students to actually earn their NIL payments, an international student could be violating their visa.

There is even a question whether they can accept the revenue sharing money from the schools. And the schools are responsible for maintaining compliance with visas, so there's a potential disaster there.

The nightmare scenario is ICE dragging a player off the basketball court.
