One thing about NIL. It was meant to be a way for players that had success to cash in on that like anyone else in any other business could do. That's fine. However what it's turned into is play-for-pay. That's good except it's against the NCAA's rules and they do nothing about any infractions.

The schools can't use TV money to pay players. It has to come from boosters, aka fans. They already ask fans to pay for tickets and parking. Now they also want you to help pay some high school kid no one has heard a six figure salary. Maybe he's good enough to play, maybe not. If he becomes a star he may leave for a bigger bag. The next year they have their hands out wanting to do it all over again.

So which schools benefit? The ones with the most and richest boosters. Texas pay their starting QB 1.7 million and his backup over 3 million. Five million just for QBs. How many schools can do that? Very few. The way it's going only a handful of the over 100 schools will compete every year for a title. Most likely only the same five or six. The risk is the fans of the other 90+ schools will lose interest fast.
