The name of the game of college football WAS covert money being channeled illegally to players. Under the guise of secrecy and deceit, issues like this rarely came to light. NOW the game has evolved from covert to overt money and nothing can be kept secret as proven by a contractual NIL lawsuit.

College Football will be dominated by overt money in the future. Covert money is something of the PAST. If an athletic program can not support a NIL contract, it will be at risk. Past powerhouse college programs may not function well in the OVERT ENVIORNMENT? Can Alabama and Auburn match Texas and Texas A&M monetarily? One more thing about OVERT MONEY, why do you think Dan Mullen is at UNLV?

FYI this monetary bullshit is ruining high school football also. Basically, Mater Dei Santa Ana CA, St John Bosco Los Angeles CA, and Bishop Gorman Las Vegas NV, have pumped so much money into their organization that no one is challenging them on the national level.
High school football in Georgia and north Atlanta specifically is becoming professionalized. Buford, Milton, Gainesville, & Carrollton and more high schools across Georgia are bringing in the top players in the state through NIL deals. Buford just dumped $60 million into a high school stadium. Gainesville ponied up right behind them. There's too much money in the game not to share some with the players, but there has to be rules and regulations just like in the NFL or dumb stuff like this is going to happen.

The financial part of it is complicated, but that WILL BE figured out... to me, the bigger problem is going to be the lack of fan interest. Nobody is going to care about high school recruiting anymore because your roster is brand new every year. That's a pretty big business now that's going to shrink considerably. And fans are going to gradually lose interest in their teams because their favorite players leave every season. You don't get to watch Dak develop over a couple of years and then make a Heisman run. Those days are gone.
