Ground Zero for NIL. We have California, a Volunteer, and a bunch or greedy-arse lawyers to thank for this shite.

The courts started this. The adults are doing all the bidding, creating these imaginative collectives, and through the NCAA absolutely failed to have a game plan for all of what they knew was coming. On top of that, the adults in the room completely blew up a conference because of pure greed.
We got a problem, but you are pointing in the wrong direction.

That's because CFB let go of its purpose of origination. As minor league football - it's nothing special. As "student-athletes", it represents the schools.
Who watches minor league baseball on TV?

I think a lot of money is going to dry up but the money at the very top might not because fans of those teams might try to buy championships. (They might even save up until they can spend tens of millions on one year.)
NIL was never NIL. Those true NIL deals aren't big. The real money as far as I can tell are from boosters who aren't looking for a title not a ROI.
We could approach an era where teams like Oregon run the show because they have billionaire boosters where tens of millions is just pocket change.

I have said this for a long time. Amateur sports generating professional interest is a very unique American only tradition because of the way it is structured as a completely different atmosphere and experience than the NBA and NFL. The universities try to replicate pro sports, the more they will become minor league and uninteresting.

Businesses for the most part get very little return from NIL so it was never going to last forever but some are wealthy enough to just throw money away
recoup + damages -

It is sad and I don't blame the players or the coaches, it is on the administration. You let lawyers and bureaucrats run something, you get this result.
I blame Congress. Title IX makes it difficult for the schools to directly pay the boys.

It is not the greedy athletes that are the source of the problems.
Who has been getting millions and billions of dollars out of college football for the last twenty years? Who continued to try to keep in place the sham system that exploited 18-22 year olds in a dangerous sport where they got no real compensation for their efforts and the risk they took with their health (please do not start with the ridiculous argument that room, board and a scholarship was remotely adequate compensation)?
The university administrators and coaches are to blame for what we have now, they made untold millions on the backs of these players and then act like the players are the selfish ones….it is disgusting that a coach like Saban would trash kids for being “selfish” now when he has gotten untold millions from that perverted system.

The sooner this snake eats itself the better the sport will be and then we might get some order back into the game.
