LA is such a shite hole, zero chance Riley keeps them on the straight and narrow. Couple that with USC alum that think they live in their own country in CA, he's going to frick it up.
LA is a huge city with great parts and crappy parts. Where do you think the future multimillionaires will be spending their days?
Here's the real problem - in a NIL world, money talks. Yes Auburn and Gainesville and Columbia and Oxford and Knoxville have alumni with money. But they don't have the biggest corporations in the world sitting right next door ready to capitalize. Metro colleges like USC and Texas are in position to buy the best talent in CFB. And USC was already appealing to kids before this.

The thing is that the corporations in LA really could care less to pay a college player to endorse their products. I’m not saying players won’t get NIL deals, but even if USC is good there are probably 5,000 people in LA more popular than the USC quarterback or head coach. They are a small fish in a big pond compared to a small college town in the SEC.
Also, USC is directly competing with the Rams and Chargers in terms of football popularity in LA. When USC was a powerhouse in the early 2000s there weren’t any professional football teams in LA. They were the only show in town.

The primary business of Los Angeles is still largely filmmaking and entertainment. They don't give two shits about paying college football players unless they get to Leinart/Bush level and I don't see that haooening anytime soon.
Stanford is where the real money is at, and Washington, too, but blue-haired pregnant man tech companies don't give a shite about football either.
The schools who could theoritaclly benefit more than anyone are Texas and Aggie because of the oil alums and Oregon and Arkansas, because of Nike and Walmart/Tyson/JB Hunt/Jerry Jones.
The Texas schools have already shown they are willing to pony up. If Arkansas ever unleashed its true potential, no schools in the South outside the Lone Star state could keep up

AT&T isn’t jumping on the NIL train. NIL will end up being driven by companies with $5M-$50M in revenue with alumni as CEOs.
