re: Saban accuses Texas, Texas A&M and USC of Pay-for-Play

NIL spending is just the CFB equivalent of a teams payroll in MLB. The Athletics are never going to be able to consistently compete with the Yankees because they can’t sign top free agents just like Washington State is never going to be able to keep up with Ohio State or Alabama because they can’t compete in NIL.

I’d argue CFB is far more unbalanced than the NFL which is at least regulated via a salary cap.

It’s making for a very boring sport unless you are one of the 5-7 teams who it benefits.
