Probably a bit exaggerated but not much.

NIL is about to become far more important than facilities, coaching, early PT, conference affiliation, etc.

At some point rules have to be put in place to prevent alumni/schools from buying players. It's free agency without a salary cap and it's going to destroy college football as we know it if nothing is done about it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the one-time free transfer rule revoked to prevent players from transferring to the highest bidder. The kids are getting paid now so I don't think anyone is going to feel sorry for them.

The good news is other P5’s will start bitchin about this!

I’d like to see the transfer rules stay in place, with one LARGE exception.
 

Once you take NIL $$$ you lose your 1 free transfer

Seems like the big programs will need an entire "NIL" department. If they were smart, they would set them up. Coaches don't want to mess with that.

Time for the Big boys to move on to their own professional college conference

[Withers940]

Ask Wren how much is in our NIL Slush fund!!! He'll answer with stick of gum, a wooden nickel and some pockets lent

LOL. A&M's had money for paying players since Fisher was slinging it at Samford.

They didn't just start throwing that money in the garbage now that it can be out in the open.

I agree and think A&M has been paying for players for a long time.  They are just so big they get away with it.

They are so good at it, that they bought Dickerson a Trans Am, he signed with smu and smu ended up on probation.

There is a reason the old SWC was called the OPEC Conference.

When my brother was at A&M in the early 80s they would joke about how you could tell when the NCAA compliance officers were coming around - one day the Cain Hall parking lot looks like a new car dealership (and yes, Trans-Am's were the car of choice) and the next day it was empty!
