Interesting thoughts, but I don't see the NIL escalation abating, unless the government puts a 'cap' on NIL spending, per school, per sport whatever. And certainly a school is going to put their money where it can make the biggest impact. Less we forget, Xichigan has what, a reported $10 million riding on the QB1 position, and if their MBB number is remotely in the ballpark, there's another $10 million onto the hardwood. Given their alleged status in college football, might opine there's another $20 million amongst the other football recruits/transfers, so there's about $40 right there. Mighty tall timber in my estimation. Unless Larry Ellison is picking up part of the tab, that's alot of moola for those car workers to put up on a continuous basis. The only saving grace, is that there's only 12-13 players on the basketball team, so might be easier to fund. The merry-go-round or the great mandala continues to turn.
