TN letting their QB leave instead of paying NIL demands for him...

I think it's going to create some big headaches initially because in the SEC and Big 10 especially that 20.5 million or so is going to put the traditionally lower half SEC and Big 10 schools in play money wise despite them not having the big boosters funding a lot of NIL. Now those lower rung SEC and Big 10 schools can compete roster wise a lot easier if they are strategic with how they spend that 20.5 million.
You think a lower rung SEC/B1G team all of a sudden gets roster parity because there’s a team salary cap? Ha!

NIL was going to put the bag man career out to pasture - the House Settlement breaths new life into that profession - bags get bigger to carry tho….

Yep they will compete much better (not full parity obviously) if smart about it money wise with all the conference teams having a bigger base like that. That big base from revenue itself will be bigger than all but the biggest NIL nimbers right now in college. What scares me is UF might have more of the type of big boosters that back off some when this starts. More than the Bama and TX boosters etc. The crap is going to get crazier with Vandy and Minnesota etc being in play money wise now.

One thing that boosters want from their investment, aside from field performance, is access to coaches and players. When most of the NIL money for program now is coming from the university through profit-sharing, and all the deals going through a central clearing house, does how a booster buys access have to change? Because if boosters get less access for the cash they give, they won’t be too thrilled with that.

Who the hell knows - Wild and wooly world

Yep we will see how it plays out but I have a feeling the biggest boosters might cut down on their NIL money some or at least change some of it back to things like donations to non-NIL things like facilities. The one thing that never happened under NIL in any big way was colleges that have very wealthy alumni but aren't big football powerhouses starting to just buy the best players in big numbers. It stayed the teams for the most part that were already giving big bags like Bama, Georgia and OSU etc. I guess those big boosters just have more passion to do it while the very rich Stanford etc ones don't.
 
Word on the street is that his little brotha is leaving Arkansas to go to UCLA. Also their dad and uncle got some sort of job at UCLA.

His dad is a 100% idiot from what people say. Cost Nico close to a million already with that 4 million dollar joke demand to TN. I will laugh if Nico face plants almost as bad as DJ Ugh at UCLA.

You are witnessing the main reason Saban called it quits. When a player is more interested in how much he is getting than anything related to earning it or proving your value as a team member.
I disagree. Saban called it quits because he was smart enough to see that Bammer was no longer going to have an overwhelming talent advantage from buying up all the players. This is not to say that they can't continue to be a power, they have a long history of paying players so they have systems that have been set up for years that other schools are just now trying to create. But to have 5 star third stringers? Those days are gone. So they will have up and down years like everybody else. We saw them take a step back last year, and we are going to see Georgia do the same this year. Neither school has the talent to hide a mediocre QB any more.

Yep Bama, GA and Ohio St won't have as big an advantage as they had in recent years.

It’s kinda the same thing.
