I kinda disagree. Texas has more or less had their pick of more in-state talent to pick from than pretty much any school in the country since forever and they haven't sniffed a championship in 20 years. Top 10 recruiting classes pretty much throughout. The reason for that was poor staffs that couldn't coach all of that talent. Texas is resurgent much moreso because of the staff, not the NIL.
Texas A&M had their picks as is evident by their recruiting classes. Texas also has 15.5 million in 2023 for NIL deals. I really don't want to hear that coaching is the main reason UT rebounded. It is certainly an aspect, but without a doubt it is due to NIL
100% and it will apply to other sports as well (ie wrestling). I’d recommend finding another hobby for the die hards or lower your expectations. It’s going to be rough on y’all if you don’t.Why college football will die.

You might not want to hear it, but it's true. With the exception of the Charlie Strong years, Texas had top recruiting classes almost every year but it didn't matter. Texas recruiting classes in 5 years before NIL.
USC is who I normally think of for probability of having a great resurgence.
They wouldn't have Ewers without NIL money, Worthy was absolutely paid to roll over his decommitment from Michigan, Mitchell getting paid via transfer from Georgia. The list goes on and on, NIL is the difference at Texas, it is the same with their basketball program. The Big12 was a weak conference, and I would put large amount of money they don't make the playoffs this year. Sark was garbage at USC, drinking problem or not.
Probably not true now, but the Tennessee NIL fund was the largest in college football as of 2023. Can't find updated numbers.

If they can keep the kids away from all those LA distractions.
Not sure. What were the average recruiting rankings of the natty winners for say the last 20 years? Strong correlation.
Well it has always sort of been this way but before it was illegal money in a brown paper bad. And teams like Auburn would illegally pay that top QB, cant even remember his name but he was not a great character, Ohio St would let players make tattoo money and steal and sell football equipment etc, etc, etc.Why college football will die.

No. It will widen the gap further. There are no limits now, before you had to be somewhat discreet.
Yep. It has always existed. Now it will exist like wildfire. No holding back.
They win more than their share - 27. PSU in wrestling is going great for them. That Tennessee QB sure made Iowa look silly.
It does bring forth an issue that few seem to be talking about. There has to be some resentment between the 50th guy (backup offensive lineman) on scholarship that's getting little or nothing and a star QB who's getting over a Mill.
I don't particularly have an issue with this statement. Seems reasonable . But it won't work. I think back to when paying players wasn't allowed and it happened anyway.
