Well if you still want to hold to the notion that College Football is "Amateur" it is not. Even in form it was prior to NIL, in substance we all know deep down that has not been true pretty much since the BCS era, then playoff, with the increase in TV Revenue.
College Football hasn't been amateur since the SMU days.

I can understand that point, so you have moved it about 18 or so years before the BCS era. That was still the era before the Boom in TV revenues, in those days a few 5 star recruits got money to come to your school. But now, you are talking about NIL for any player on your team and transfer portal. But yes, it has been moving that way starting in the 1980's but has accelerated the last 20 years.
