You can't cap it the same way that the NFL can't cap how much $$ a player can make off of endorsement deals with say, State Farm Insurance.
That's what the NIL was originally supposed to allow for: Players getting $$ from EA sports for using their name, image, and likeness in a video game, or Jeremy Bloom being allowed to get endorsements from his pro skiing while also being allowed to play football for Colorado.
It's just that now that those things are allowed, the entire Pandora's Box is opened.
It is this collective part, that is effectively the school, but at the same time definitely NOT the school, but everybody knows it exists to represent the school (except it is totally different I swear...) that is the wrench in the works. it has equated to cash offers to play for a school (except you know, not really it is a cash offer from the totally different, I swear, collective that just really likes the school...)
