Ultimately, what makes professional sports great is the parity. That is due to the salary cap.  They make so much money.  They still get NIL money, but it’s national sponsors.  No one is paying Rodgers more NIL because he went from the Packers to the Jets. They want superstars that are recognizable.  Maybe not a great example because of his weirdness, but the point is, his “NIL” is the same regardless of location.

In college, there is no salary cap. The kids only make money by NIL. So players will go where NIL is.  NIL is essentially boosters “owners” who are trying to pay players to come play at there school.  But because it is NIL. There is no way to regulate it like a salary cap.  Even if these kids make 100,000 dollars a year, the boosters are still going to kick in the same amount of NiL to get a kid to come to their school.  It’s a perk they can offer to entice a kid to come to school.  Because college players don’t get paid millions of dollars and NIL is essentially their funds, there will always be certain schools that will be able to utilize NiL to pay a kid more.
