These big programs were operating with impunity, raking in major coin, paying coaches multi millions and not sharing with the players, who did most of the work. Now it’s the Wild West again and some programs will not survive. Likely the power 5 will operate as their own entity and the rest will drop down a notch.

If someone didn't know who sang this song, I'm quite sure they do now after your 36th reference to it in the last 15 years.

Its not whether someone wanted it or not - simply the realization that it was going to happen. Players have been paid and received "favors" forever at both the factories and gasp (to a much much lesser level) Ohio. This simply allows some to make a more honest dollar. Reality - we never competed against Clemson, Bama, OSU or any of the others that will take this opportunity and run.

Or is Built just funneling the money into BYU through a tuition fund? We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Now there are high school kids looking to cash in. Apparently one of the top QB's in high school is from Texas. They don't allow NIL for high school kids. He's going to skip his senior year of football, graduate early and enroll in OSU. According to the host, he'll make more in NIL the the salaries of his HS coaching staff combined.

If someone wants to prioritize a sport, let them. The fact that BYU is paying for walk ons is huge. Hope it gives them a leg up. At the end of the day, football to me is asinine to attempt to fund up and compete. At least with basketball (both men's and women's), all it takes is 5 people that can flat out play, and you got a team in the hunt. With football, so many moving parts have to cooperate.
