We're getting adequate NIL next year supposedly, so that is a plus.

It will be interesting to see what happens next year with all the school-funded 20.5mil coffers in place.

I am going to make an educated guess that the SEC schools and big B1G state schools with the big collective clearinghouses will find a way to monetize players well beyond the school's $20.5 max commitment.

They will find a way to get the most money in the hands of the best players and maintain their competitive advantage.

I know the NCAA says they are going to reign that in (yeah right) and the IRS is looking to tax the collectives, but big money always finds a way. It's no coincidence that the SEC and B1G are already discussing forming a separate governance body. They want the big cash to flow because they have the big cash.

I expect we'll be hearing in 3 - 4 years "We thought once the playing field was leveled at $20.5 mil per school, we'd have what we need to compete, but other funding sources well beyond that are now needed to get the best players..."  or something thereabouts.

The sad news is there will be a lot of schools in that 2nd tier with us when the dust settles. It's like Thanos at this point.
