View attachment 521586GROUNDRULES:
* 85 max scholarships per team
*125 max players on the team
* NO LIMITS on NIL deals whatsoever
* No "salary caps" like the NFL
* NCAA afraid to regulate NIL
RESULT:
Unfettered ability to attract recruits.
Teams can have 85 players on scholly and another 40 with killer NIL deals.
Similarly, teams could, theoretically, have 125 players all earning $10M+ NIL deals. Why ever go pro?!?
NET RESULT:
Whichever football team fanbase coughs up the most donations for NIL (e.g. Tennessee via Spyre Sports Group, etc.) will pay the highest "salaries" to players and, likely, attract the most talented players and, likely, therefore win the NCAA Natty.
PARITY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Apply this to ANY NCCA sport. Rinse. Repeat.
... until states, colleges and/or conferences step in with new regulation/legislation.
NIL will probably turn into a problem since there seems to be no ground rules, but the real killer will be the organized gambling that has been embraced. Fixing games is so easy and will become common. How do I know? Because it's been going on forever in every sport. Anyone can throw a game and unlimited $$$ can get to anyone. It's only a matter of time.
