They SMU are doing it to remove players we could have help us. They do it to spite us. This was also done in the 60s I believe when there were no roster limits.
There are very few programs with SMU-level donors.
SMU upgraded their entire roster with championship-caliber starters and valuable backups. I'm not sure that's what is being discussed.
My 0.02: What is a waste are those fringe players: guys that are the third+ option at their position, offering little difference towards winning a title vs. not, and still squeezing disgusting NIL amounts from these P5 donors. The problem is two-fold: 1) these donors are being asked for absurd NIL amounts when it amounts to little-to-no ROI, and 2) the UNTs of the world still can't compete with these offers, so these guys that are normally starting at G5 schools are riding the P5 bench and the quality of play at our level is diminished/sucked dry.
