The ridiculousness of the transfer portal era personified
If ever you wanted to see just how fickle the generation of players we are currently watching is, here is the poster child... https://247sports.com/Player/chubba-purdy-46076928/TimelineEvents/ -

Big buyout, but I think Kiffin could be interested or he may wait for USC! -

I gotta wonder, does this season spell wholesale changes in Norman? This is NOT the kind of season that fans (and donors) expect up there. -

Another NIL Coaching Casualty
80,000 fans aren't necessarily the ones footing the bill for NIL, though. The issue with this current model is nobody could go to the games and nobody could watch on TV but player salaries would still be funded by big money boosters. There's no correlation between a team's revenue, or the sport's revenue as a whole, and player salaries/NIL deals. The NFL doesn't work this way. When overall viewership goes up, media deals gain value which increases media distribution to the franchises and raises salary caps with it when new media deals are signed. NFL teams are required to spend 89% of the salary cap over a 4 year span or pay the difference to their players because that money comes from media deals. The teams make most of their money from ticket sales, merchandise sales, and such but those don't pay salaries like they might in the MLB or even NBA which allows for a luxury tax when exceeding the salary cap. For the NCAA to follow a similar model where wins and losses don't matter to "school" salary pools (insane to type), you'd need an NCAA-wide media deal that pays all schools the same and a salary cap that is the same across the board determined by that media deal. I doubt it'll ever happen. We'd be right back at boosters paying players under the table. It's going to have to start with boosters getting spending fatigue to spark change.
