Wouldn't it have been better to have there been a cap that applies to all schools and all sports of a certain amount, and everyone gets the same? That would make the incentive to chase the most money go away, and kids could go to the schools they want and not just choose based upon pay.
It’s not feasible. Schools are not paying players ergo a cap on them wouldn’t work. What you are suggesting is capping private individuals and businesses or limiting what players can earn from businesses and private individuals.
A better model to do this would be for players to be employees of the collegiate football league. That removes the schools and puts the financial burden on the league. That also creates super conferences as the league would need oversight on standards, scheduling, eligibility, and transfers.
That’s the next logical step in this mess. Schools recruit kids and they sign over the limited NIL rights to the league. They could still get endorsement deals (NIL deals) locally but the league would have oversight on them, thus curtailing them greatly. It would remove the inducement to chase the dollar as they would get a base pay plus endorsements.
