I think it might go opposite of what most think. We will likely see more parity than ever before.
The good programs will always be good but were able to hoard players similar to before scholly caps were in place. Now any team can beat them out for players using collectives or big donors.
Before, big donors gave money to school to be used as seen fit. Now they can chip in to buy players. Thats going to create more parity.
Gone will be the undefeated days. With super conferences the ones at top will have 2-3 losses with 1 loss being exceptional. Its possible they start looking more like NFL where they have the best cost structure in all of pro sports and get the best ratings by far. The more college teams having a chance at playoffs will invest more fans.
Not saying its good or bad rather thats where its headed imo.
One note, if the NCAA and TV agree on their lawsuits, players will have to sign contracts which require them to play bowl games. And can’t leave for 2 years. That would shore up the portal issues as well.
It will be interesting to watch.

And just how do you plan on making those players, especially the top players sign these contracts? Gun point? Because a top player who can pull in a million a year in NIL and freely transfer for a better deal each year, will never sign a piddly 40,000 dollar deal and lose out on all of that money and opportunity. Their agents will well advise them to stay away from that nonsense, and rightfully so.
