Are we going to run into a situation where talented players are stockpiled at programs who can pay them more, even though playing time might be more limited?
After all, they'll be getting paid.

With the new 15 scholarship limit

Pretty good article on this topic here:
Rethinking College Basketball Scholarships, Roster Construction Amid NIL Changes
Starting next year, Division I colleges that elect to opt into the preliminarily approved House v. NCAA settlement can share revenue with student athletes.

I don’t think many teams will keep 15 guys on scholarship +/or nil. Players, despite the money still want to play. I think most teams will carry 12-13 on their roster.
Maybe…..but the ones who don’t play will just leave for another school after a year anyway.
That still won’t amount to very many players being stockpiled, so not really a big deal. If a school/collective wants to throw millions away on players to sit on the bench, more power to them.
I could see some of the schools with stupid $$$ stock piling players. Probably will end up with some toxic locker rooms.
We are watching before our own eyes the slow burning destruction of everything that made college sports special.
There are no scholarship limits anymore. There are roster limits.
That’s what I thought but the following paragraph from the article confused me.
Athletic compensation will be removed from the hands of NIL Collectives through a NIL auditing board that seeks to eliminate third-party pay-for-play contracts and instead place athletic compensation under the purview of schools themselves.
Most Power 4 institutions have the funds to compensate their athletes up to this NIL revenue-sharing cap. However, schools without the vast revenue-generating capabilities that power conference schools enjoy will revenue share with their athletes at varying levels, oftentimes far below the $20.5 threshold.
So the swarm can basically help get up to the $20.5 million mark?

The Athletic Department will be at the 20.5. mark. What Swarm can raise will be above and beyond that.
With ~$15M going to football per most people in the know.
So that probably leaves ~$2.5M for MBB and ~$3M to spread among the remaining sports: WBB, Wrestling, Baseball, etc.
