Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
USC was a football powerhouse under Howard Jones (1925 - 1940), John McKay (1960 - 1975), and Pete Carroll (2001 - 2009). They claimed 9 National Championships. USC did it before and I believe that given the right coach they can do it again. USC is a national brand, California has a wealth of the top 5/4 star recruits every year, and the PAC-12 is a weak conference which USC should be able to dominate. And now what Petey got in trouble for could now be legal under NIL.
Money Talks: How NIL will impact recruiting moving forward
Let’s take USC for example, located in one of the largest cities in the country — Los Angeles — with a vibrant array of businesses that want to partner with athletes. Compared to colleges with more traditional settings, such as a small suburban or rural community with not many businesses around, the preference of the student-athlete likely gets more swayed toward USC, even if we might not be better than the other college at whatever sport the athlete plays.

In a couple years down the road I wouldn't be surprised if the top 4 "elite" teams are Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, and USC.

So outside of USC, no real changes does NIL make...
All USC does is replace a team like Clemson or Oklahoma. CFB's talent gap will only widen with the same schools

Well, it appears Texas A&M and Texas are ponying up the NIL money. Maybe Texas could have replaced Oklahoma as the "top dog" in the Big XII; however, both Texas and Oklahoma are moving to the SEC. I don't think either team can unseat Alabama or Georgia.
I think Texas had a chance (especially if Sarkisian stays off the sauce). Texas might hvae just got what they had been missing for several years, i.e. a "franchise" QB in Ewers. Like California, Texas is a hotbed for the top 5/4 star recruits and UT is the "flagship" school in the state and "flush" with NIL money; but they shot their wad by moving to the SEC.

Texas also has too many schools poaching their talent to ever be a power, and it'll only get worse in the SEC. Kids don't grow up wanting to be Longhorns like in the past, kids in SoCal only need a competent coach to go to USC if offered. And not nearly the same amount of schools poach top SoCal talent. Hell, even in their mediocre Helton years, they could still get homegrown 5stars and high 4stars, when UT faltered, schools like OSU pounced and we saw guys like Dobbins, Okudah, Browning, Jackson, Wilson, etc head north.
