Hell, with NIL what is stopping someone just paying for their schooling and have more than 85 “scholarship” players
Nothing if you're good enough to get considerable NIL. I've always thought it will be interesting if that starts happening. If we were at 85 and had some 5* wanting to transfer, pay him NIL and he can pay his own tuition. Simple as that, and the 85 becomes a soft cap.

In this case though, not sure TJ is going to have substantial NIL deals coming his way.

I believe they have to be on scholly to play specifically to stop that. Otherwise you could have a whole other team "off the books". literally the ole days of Bear Bryant, and just shuffle in ones who perform and shuffle out those that arent on a game by game basis, like injured reserve in the pros.

I also like Freeze keeping the NIL at arms length. I could very easily see a booster like some QB in the portal, pony up the money specifically for him and then wear out the coach on putting the guy in, even if he was not performing.

Between NIL and the portal this thing is like Medusa's head.
