When a full-ride scholarship, free room/board + access to top nutrition & training facilities become irrelevant and are no longer considered a benefit, things have gone off the ledge.

You say these things like it is some sort of surprise. It is a FACT that these things have an insignificant value when compared to the salary paid to head coaches like Nick Saban. Now that the players are having that value/money come to them via NIL all sorts of people that were getting it (like Nick Saban) are saying how terrible it is,….too damn bad. It has been this way for the last 10-20 years, and admins and coaches stuck their heads in the sand and collected their millions of dollars. This mess should be blamed on those people, not the players that are finally getting some value from a system that was rewarding the wrong people.
