It's going to take a school suing a student for breaking a contract, either NIL or scholarship. Arkansas' NIL contracts have penalties for breaking them, and they are close to suing Nico's brother.
It's out of control as is, and getting worse. Players already under NIL contracts are starting to test boundaries. Withholding practicing until re-negotiations happen. Accepting an NIL deal at a new school, practice, then accept another NIL deal at the previous school.
The things that makes the NFL somewhat balanced (draft, salary cap, binding contracts) are things that will prevent college football from being balanced now and in the future. It's predicted (by Power program coaches) that even if player contracts happen and NIL regulated, that extra under-table payments will begin again.
Depends on rest days and whether it was away/home, but all things equal, I would say last year's squad beats them 75% of the time, so 7 or 8 games out of 10.
Our athleticism and experience would have been too much. Do they have a player that averaged 20ppg in a "lower" league? Oh wait, they did (almost), but he didn't come here.
