I agree with others that say things will eventually settle down. It's the wild west out there right now, but NIL is still brand spanking new.
But what has really changed other than more kids swapping schools? There are still haves and have nots and there always will be. Some programs cycle in and out of the top tier. Is that going to change? Texas A&M boosters have deep pockets and appear to be willing to spend it. So what? Is that suddenly
now unfair to Vanderbilt?
What if Vanderbilt boosters decided to make a 5-10 year commitment to NIL for football? Probably have a better shot at being competitive that way than they had previously. (I'm not taking a shot at Vandy. Just using them as an example. Lord knows my team has their own issues). Hopefully the Vanderbilt boosters have decided their priorities should be focused on research facilities and libraries and such.
Good for them.
@Drunken Cowboy if you root for the team and not the players, what does this change?
I could continue to rant about the facilities and coaching salaries arms race that has been going on for a while. I have a big issue telling kids they are just stuck someplace when the coach that recruited them is free to go whenever. Make coaches sit out a year if they want to transfer. If a player decides to transfer only because of money, good for them. Shows they are being educated.
