This.
With programs scrambling to change their state's laws to allow the most favorable NIL deals possible, it's hard to say who will win out at this point.
The big Texas schools seem to have a solid head start though.

It may ebb and flow during the early stages but I predict the traditional elite recruiting teams will remain the same as players have always been paid, be it under the table. Everyone wants to blame NIL for the Aggie class but Jimbo has always been an elite recruiter and it was a banner year for Houston area prospects. Also helped that Texas and LSU (two teams who traditionally compete for those prospects) were down the last two years and Aggie was up in 2020 and salvaged a win vs Bama from 2021.
Great post!

A&M, Texas, USC, Florida in the short-term. In the long term, these big money boosters are going to get tired of writing big checks every year, and NIL will have greatly reduced importance. For instance, these guys who are going to pay UT offensive lineman 50k per year- if they don't see some conference titles and playoff appearances in short order, they will find other ways to spend that money. In fact, the money would be better spent just overpaying a great coach.
Very true. If fans become unhappy with Jimbo, money will stop flowing in to make a statement until a new coach that they believe in is hired.

I’m glad to see someone making this case because I have been thinking all along that NIL is going to sink Auburn and render us permanently non-competitive.
Frankly I was thinking that it would be an arms race and we’d end up with a giant chasm between 3 - 5 schools and then almost like entire drop in classification to the next level.
ETA: as the soon-to-be #13-size school in a soon-to-be 16-team league with no major metropolitan area in proximity to provide “sidewalk alums” and market potential, I feel like Auburn is uniquely UNsuited for success in the NIL era. Hope I’m wrong.

Booster will tire of getting screwed on 6 figure nils for kids that dont play, get hurt, have moral issues, or values that dont align with the company.

It helps Auburn tremendously. It hurts the schools who were going all out with illegal payment schemes beforehand (I think the board knows who those coaches are).
