Agreed. I think number of freshman scholarship opportunities are going to be the same.  As long as the total scholarships being used at any one time are the same and we are talking about kids having the typical 4 years of college or 5 for a redshirt year then the number of new scholarships available to the freshman each year should always be the same.

But now much more often the experienced talent already in college at lower level programs will now transfer more often to better programs, instead of those better programs taking a freshman like they have in the past. In general, this will result, in freshman needing to start at "lesser programs" until they prove themselves as valuable in college to the point where many will likely transfer to "better programs".

To me this just shifts what teams the proven talent is playing on up the food chain.  Even talented freshman are more of a gamble than what you have seen from the better talent already playing in college. All the talent and experience is likely going to flow up to better programs and it will be harder for lesser programs to retain their hidden gems or developed talent.  The higher profile programs with more NIL win.  This just makes it so there seems to be a lot less parity.  The best programs should never have a year where the young talent didn't pan out like hoped. They are now just picking from the best guaranteed talent.  Top teams will always be on top and never down.
