I would say that NIL and The Transfer Portal has had more of an equalizing effect on college football. Programs can no longer stockpile talent and sit on it. I think that is one of the reasons that Alabama was not in the playoffs this year. That is the reason we are seeing new faces. Besides all that money that is being thrown around did not just materialize out of thin air. That money has always been there. We just see it now.

That half correct. It equalized the second tier P4 schools with the top 5-6 programs, but creating a larger divide between the P4 and G5.

I’ve been beating that drum for a while, but most of the active posters on here prefer the doom-and-gloom, sky is falling, “what happened to the game I love!?” narrative.

I wonder when a school adding the transfer will set precedent and say “no, we don’t want any part of *this*”

This = any new and ridiculous scenario an 18 year old kid’s agent cooks up.

EXACTLY!!!! The transfer portal has created more pairity across CFB than ever. The best players go to where the best money is, the good players go to where they can play and the bad players washout.

I do think the next evoloution is contract terms/limits...This will alow for programs to "build" via grass roots as before but also give the freedom we have now. Likely 2 year contracts for incoming freshman where they are compenstated based on playing time. Once the 2 years is up players/schools can resign or hit the portal. JRs & SRs get 1 year deals with compensation based on playing time. I also see a cap on free transfers and a term limit on eligiblity but I'm not sure how the leagality of that will work.

Then there is Title IX. If you have to pay females proportionately, will that impact the big dogs paying hundreds of thousands to multiple guys?

Would love to see the school sue the player for breach of contract and seek damages from any NIL deal that he may sign over the next two years.

Not an expert but I think for any of this to work there with have to be multiple governing bodies. If not antitrust law will kill it all again.

Not sure one game is a testament to parity of CFB this season. It seems that we had quite a bit of parity during the regular season. I did not see one team that was overly dominant all year. OSU lost to Michigan during the regular season. Something clicked for them after that loss.

They spent their money wisely. 10 of the 11 starters were homegrown with Caleb Downs the only portal acquisition from Alabama. They spent their money largely on retention of current players. Obviously that’s not going to happen at App but it’s the right model if you want consistency.

100% this. Look at the final top 25 of the season. SMU, Arizona State, Colorado, Ole Miss, Indiana, Illinois, UNLV are all teams that have been pretty terrible the last 10-20 years but have risen to prominence thanks to NIL and the transfer portal.

I agree with your examples. I’ll be interested moving forward to see if any schools like the ones you mentioned can make the title game, much less win it. There is still a huge chasm between those schools and the usual suspects with endless money.
