Don’t think it will for most schools. I suspect schools like Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, LSU will likely put together a big NIl package for certain classes but other schools will be able to sustain that kind of pay for play more regularly. I’m not saying Bama broke but we’re not even close to Texas or Ohio State money. Guys this will be what CFB is. Until there’s some kind of equity rules put in place to level the playing field this will be what it


I don’t think even the big money schools can keep this up.

$30-40 mil per season to meet you NIL commitments. This in addition to other funding needed from big boosters for buyouts and facilities.

A great first step would be a salary cap for incoming freshman. It's beyond ridiculous that guys with no college experience are getting paid often more than the majority of NFL players. The avg NFL salary is about $450,000 and that's usually for buys who played solid in college for 3-4 years.


That way guys who have actually already played college football would rightfully be the highest paid players.


I mean don't forget the Ohio State AD said that a lot of these high school kids are requiring $5K just for a campus visit.
