Even Tennessee (SEC) has limits to what it will pay a QB, and they just let their starter from a CFP spot walk away. That says it's more than just money. It's about fulfilling a commitment and deal previously agreed to.
The collegiate model of paying for player salaries (paid by fans, donors, businesses) differs from the NFL model (paid by owners).
I can see a time soon when College Athletic Programs will have to sell stock (ownership) of the Program by fans and business. This will result in revenue returned to investors. The "giving" for NIL is drying up and schools are starting to have limits on what value players bring.
