from where I'm sitting, it's no different than the
70's and 80's. Still the same brands making most of the money, with monopolies on the top bowls, playing meager OOC schedules.
The only difference today is the consolidation of the brands in the P2. NIL is just a legalized "80's model. The transfer portal is the big difference here. Attach credit hours and graduation to the transfer portal, and the problem is fixed. Then recruits look at schools differently, and can not transfer on a whim.
The idea that the B12 leftovers, most of the ACC, and the mid to low level BIG and SEC schools will ever compete with blue blood money is just plain silly. VT doesn't have a problem with Ohio State making the big bucks, they have a problem with the Rutgers of the world getting more money than them.
it's time to end the doom and gloom hoping that some other entity will fix things for the B12 or most of the ACC. It's time to put on your big boy pants, get a coach, recruit a dedicated quarterback, and make the playoffs.
