This is the old school thinking… for the best players, they are going to follow the money.
Now they will stick around if we can outbid the top competition, but we can’t, even with the $200M over the next 5 years.

Somehow putting a cap on NIL will help, but that might be challenged in court.
Any new coach/GM/AD will have to deal with these constraints.
And what happens when every college decides to increase their commitment by $200M over thr next 5 years 🤔
