People are only as loyal as their options. The college football heroes of 30 years ago would have taken advantage of NIL and the portal too if those options had been available to them.
Pretty much this. Also, hate to burst some bubbles, but 90-whatever percent of scholarship players 30 years ago grew up dreaming of playing in the NFL and their ultimate goal was to play in the NFL and just viewed college as a pitstop. The same as today.

having NFL aspirations and loyalty/affinity with the school you sign with are not mutually exclusive. 4 yrs of eligibility is by definition a pit stop if you go on to play pro. You see a lot of those older guys still repping their alma mater. With post-NIL, time will tell.
