I just don’t see any signs whatsoever that the NIL spending is slowing down

You know what the difference is between a Billionaire and a Millionaire is ?
A billion dollars.
This is pocket change to these guys.

You get it but the schools especially in the South will burn in hell before they do that.

I am shocked that State is struggling during the NIL era

Do you also engage in buying college football players?

Most billionaires don’t have hundreds of millions of dollars in cash lying around. They hide it in assets and investments and a millionaire isn’t a factor in NIL

I agree that the NIL spending hasn't slowed down YET, but boosters are not going to continue throwing money down this bottomless pit and get zero return on their investment.

That's what we thought with coaches. Surely no other school would swoop in with a higher salary and lower buyout offer. That would be insane, right?

Huge increase in money chasing the same roster size. What's that mean folks? C'mon...think a little.

Honestly I'd rather go back to the old rules - you either transfer to a Div II school or you sit a year. That would knock a lot of this shite off. This portal was a covid-era thing and it needs to be over with. We're back to the real world.
Either that or we need some kind of enforcement agency with more teeth. Some nationalized policy where there's a minimum 2 year commitment, etc. Something needs to happen because this is bullshite. Every year everybody have a brand new team, with these kids taking payday after payday and possibly sucking arse, not giving a shite.

boosters are strongly considering pulling back their NIL money because players are simply using them for a quick payday and the following year are off to another program.
No shite.

There is no way this will happen without a governing body with an anti-trust exemption to enforce the rules. Ain’t happening.

Who could have possibly seen that 17-24 year old players who think they are god's gift to the earth would take advantage of such a system?
