This is intended from a money & politics angle, more than from a sporting angle.
Georgia football coach Kirby Smart expressed belief that college football is on track for problems as it relates to name, image and likeness. He raised significant concerns about the sport's national branding losing some of its luster among the masses as a result. At some point, Smart fears, fans could grow disinterested in college football due to the game losing its amateurism aspect and the growth of the sport could be stunted as a result.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban took it one step further, saying he fears there could be cheating involved if programs begin using NIL exclusively to entice recruits. (did he manage to keep a straight face when saying that???) 😂

NIL levels the recruiting field somewhat in the iG's opinion.
Or maybe it just alters who has be best un-level playing field advantage.
Now everyone can pay the recruits, and they can do so right out in the open.
It now becomes; who has the most money to spend buying your team with.
The schools are now in a different competition, recruiting their NIL sponsors to make those payments to their recruits/players.
The schools that have always bought recruits with GoB 'money under the table' are not really all that happy with the NIL, because it reduces their $UTT advantages. Now every school can make an open $$$ bid.
The schools with the richest alum/backers will now have the same advantages that the long time accomplished GoB $UTT cheater guys have had.
The best $UTT GoB cheaters are fast losing ground, while the $$$ richest but formally mostly honest guys, are quickly gaining ground.
The iG as a fan, is becoming less and less interested in any college (semi-pro) sports.....
While UF becoming an ANTIFA / BLM Socialist-U is another ugly spike in this fans coffin....
=====
Not to worry though, because I see this as maybe a very positive thing for America. Citizens that are less distracted by 'meaningless to society' sports, might actually regrow their interest in their civic responsibilities as Sovereign Citizens. (as unlikely as that is, I can still hope & dream)
Maybe FREEDOM can make a come-back over the mindless distraction entertainment....
If the time, energy, and money that is being wasted on sports was put to use in better governing our country, local-state-nation, then we wouldn't be in the chit-hole position that we are currently in. (Cheering Let's Go Brandon)
Rome's rich elite used the same public distractions with the Colosseum and the Gladiators, and it would be good to remember what that eventually did to the Roman's society... (remember or repeat, you make the call) 🤓 I really don't want anyone saving me a seat by the fire.... 😨
