Seems like it would be easy to factor in player rating to get a metric for how much each team gets per dollar spent
Seems like the kind of thing I would have calculated if:
1) I followed recruiting (which I never did), and
2) I cared enough (which I did before the cheating up north changed my perspective on the game)

I think a caveat needs to be put in, because Maryland has 4 commits, led by top 3 recruit, Zion Elee. Who, I'm sure is getting a massive bulk of the NIL

There is a WAR calculation in there somewhere but football sample sizes are too small and I don’t give anywhere close to enough of a fuck to even mess with it.

I would think something similar for TCUN. With the massive deal they supposedly gave Underwood kicking that "average per player" through the roof, It must mean other guys are getting minimum wage.

Just sayin': It would be interesting to see the SEC, ACC, and Big XII NIL charts too.
I think it’s funny how so many fans don’t realize that some of the mid tier even bad programs, have some very wealthy alumni who want to even seem like they have A Seat at the table in CFB. Under Armor execs alone will prop up the Maryland NIL and allow them to sign some very elite talent every so often. Now that talent will always be from the DMV, that area puts out some of the best football and basketball yearly.

A lot of people don't realize the subtle (not-so-subtle in some cases) shifts in HAVE vs HAVE-NOT that have occurred due to NIL
When it comes to huge fan bases and locations in Metro areas of over 2 million that they have to themselves and do not share with an NFL team, Ohio State and Texas are it. They are a tier of their own moving forward in terms of sustainability.
Alabama does have a large fan base, and some of them have money, but their location in Tuscaloosa does not help. They may not have a seat at the big boy table much longer.
Eugene will not be of much help to the ducks after Phil Knight passes to the duck pond in the sky
Georgia appears to be doing OK, despite sharing the Atlanta–Athens–Clarke County–Sandy Springs Combined Statistical Area with Georgia Tech and the Falcons, for NIL purposes. It's still too early to tell where they will end up long term. This is about NIL sustainability; not coaching or anything else. So the time-frame for judging this is decades.
While some former mid-majors like Maryland might occasionally bump up a tier for a few years; in terms of sustainability, the Buckeyes and Longhorns have it made and will not have to sweat the occasional big name going to the Terps (or whoever).

I’m not an economist but if I had to guess I’d say, It’s pure capitalism.
The polarization of have and have not is just happening very fast because there are no rules right now. Society at large has it happen over a longer period of time because, unlike Nam, there are rules.
just spitballing
