I'm guessing we all know where this leads.
That experiment works, then someone else tries it with Jeff Bezos, and a few programs drop out because they can't afford it.
Eventually you're left with a small conglomeration of owners, coaches, and elite players competing throughout the country, partially subsidized by merchandising and broadcast rights.
We'll call it the National Football League, sponsored by Bud Light.

That’s too simplistic of an answer. There are millionaires all over from every university. It becomes a question of the big donors if the juice is worth the squeeze. I don’t know enough about Bama’s and Auburn’s collective to say either way.

Mark Cuban has bragged about how much he gave them along with how much he is giving them again this year

Contributions are not tax deductible. You best have deep pockets to give the kind of money these guys are willing to give.
A cap on salary spending like the NFL model may be the way to go but not sure the legal issues since these guys are not considered employees.

What do the portal rankings actually prove? It seems it is at worst a wash for Alabama. While also signing a top 4 signing class. I think we will keep trying at football.

You have to take like 30-40 transfers to be ranked 1st, so if you don’t need transfers, you aren’t ranked. Broken logic that get preached as if it’s better than HS recruiting that makes up most of the rosters.

Don't bash on Auburn, they aren't a serious football school.
