NIL will dramatically change college athletics.
If our wealthy alumni have not already started working with the AD and coaching staffs then we are way behind.
Personally, I would start with basketball, where 2-3 players can change a team immediately.
As for football, this opens the door for us to legally pay players. A 4 star may mean more to us than Bama, and we may offer more, so with a well run recruiting fund, we could make some progress. Our fans spend a good bit of money on shirts and other paraphernalia... So that may help as well.
Hopefully, someone over at the business school has figured it out and the ball is rolling. If not, we are even more screwed than usual.
I have no idea what this will do to the total number of college fans in the country. Probably won't be a good thing with millennials or gen z.
