Football is over for us and schools like us

Effect is still the same? $1.2M for a player who hasn't played?

I worded it wrong, let me rephrase:

The boosters currently hand out money to recruits, knowing full well 9/10 recruits wont be wanted by the staff by the time they're Srs/that they'll pick a rival school, who's also paying them. Overall, most of the under the table money goes to a lot of recruits that will never see the field for them. The wanted players are double, triple, or quadruple dipping from boosters from multiple schools. Poor booster networks (like ours) have to be careful who they pick because we can't "show the love" to as many recruits.

Under these new NIL laws, boosters can -instead of finding the promising 8th graders and beginning a 5 year journey of small bribes to them- pool their money. No more handouts to 5 LBs only for 1 to get offered by the staff, just pool that 5 recruits' worth of money and offer it all to the staffs top target. If that recruit gets offered more elsewhere, the boosters can decide to up their offer or move on to target #2.

So from a players' perspective, it will go from a multi year long trickle of $200 handshakes from multiple schools to a 1 time payout by the school you sign with. From the schools' perspective, it will be whoever can pit together the most booster $ will get the best recruits... which is how it is now. That's what I mean by it won't change anything.

Look at Cam Newton. Dude LITERALLY shopped himself around and took the best offer. Only difference now is it would be 180k for a 30 second add, vs 180k in a church offering plate
