NIL and the portal will completely reduce the sport to the biggest booster bank accounts.

Winning in college football football has been about money for a long time now. Money and landing the right coach - primarily because of his recruiting ability. The players might move around a bit now but the same teams that have been funding $20,000,000 staffs and ridiculous facility upgrades are still going to continue to win.

The only thing NIL and the portal will do is hurt the feelings of fans who want Johnny Heisman to love their school as much as they do. Even though he didn’t love you before, the illusion was a little easier to maintain.
