I am going to go with large market schools...So. Cal...UCLA will be at the top but other large market areas will also benefit. If they are allowed to do endorse dealerships and things of that nature...the big money will come from the larger markets....I think states with only one power 5 school should be OK...but in states with more than one power 5 or power 5's in rural areas will feel the blunt of the 5 star exodus to larger markets....those kids will follow the money. I could be wrong but it seems reasonable...

I mean kids should do what’s best for them, so why not follow the money

What stops Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, or Ed O from getting a booster to give a Local Business $500,000 to give to a player to do a commercial for them if they come to said school?

This will be about exposure i.e.TV ratings. Bama vs creampuff won't get you paid except chump change in Alabama. LSU vs Texas with a national TV audience will. The shoe companies will be unleaded.

It won’t change much. A program can only buy so many players. The market value hasn’t been set.

Arkansas because Wal mart will start throwing advertisement money around.

The programs with more passionate fan bases (Alabama, LSU, OSU football etc... Kentucky and Duke in basketball) will do better with this kind of revenue for players, even not being in major media centers.

The rich will get richer

I know that Nebraska was one of the first to start pushing the idea, maybe programs that are in places where there isn't much else going on besides CFB stand to benefit?

I think the benefits they can get are very limited from a practical standpoint.

The Saban Aflac commercial, the Scott Cochran Regions Bank commercials...what things are missing in those commercials?

Any mention of an association with Alabama. They aren't wearing crimson or an Alabama logo.

Very few incoming college athletes are going to have the name recognition on their own that will garner significant dollars without a mention of the school.

They may be able to use the player's likeness, but the absolutely cannot use the school logo or the name of the school.

I don’t see larger markets getting a bigger advantage tbh. Places like New York and LA are far more worried about other things than college sports. Places where a college team is the only school or team to cheer for would benefit the most I’d imagine. A team say like Indiana is much more likely to have a booster do all they can to start winning again rather than a place like UCLA imo

You really don't think they'll be getting what they actually bring in revenue wise right?

This is just a way for them to pay players to come to schools.

Booster types who have the money for that stuff also typically have businesses. Just promise a kid X amount of endorsement deals for your business, and boom you just bought yourself a player.

Hell, just put up an open thing for all players who sign with school will get X amount of dollars for endorsement deals from your business.

You have to think that Oregon and their Nike "connections / open checkbook" are about to crush it in most college sports
