It’s the opposite - they sign to ride the bench surely demanding something more by the little school will cause them more so to sign to ride the bench.

There are limited openings at the talent graveyards.

There will always be good players available because it will always come down to I want to play and will do what is necessary including signing a no compete.

That is why this is happening everywhere . . . Wait, I meant NOWHERE

It is happening nowhere because the NCAA reacted to a pending FTC announcment of an upcoming rule banning noncompetes which the FTC has since abandoned * and the NCAA has not adjusted to.

* based on Supreme Court rulings.

If college sports no longer wanna be amateur sports then it should be run like the pros! You sign a contract/scholarship for an amount/period of time, you become free agents when contract expires to pick which school is best (pays them most), you have performance incentives for bonuses etc. Part of these performance incentives should include code of conduct, a true GPA criteria, community service hours, etc. If you break the contract you are still beholden to that contract until the University releases you or the contract expires! I feel there should also be a NIL cap mush like a salary cap per sport keeping things competitively fair across the board. This would be college sports. NFL could form a minor league type situation for those who do not want to be a STUDENT athlete. We put way too much emphasis on sports now and the spending is freakin out of control! If you break the contract you have to pay back the amount received and are still "property" so to speak of that University so no walking out and just signing with other schools. Just like the PAID pros.

The new school would pay it just like they pay coaches early departure penalties

SUPREME Court would not let that happen with college players

NIL is more akin to sponsorships which pro players negotiate outside of their deal with the team they play with

They will.

It will begin with tighter windows and fewer opportunities to enter the portal,

The way to deal with NIL/Portal is to do the opposite of what the P4 wants. Most of them want dual threat QBs and Freakish TE/WRs. As a G6, if you have one of these on your roster, the NIL poachers will grab them. We know this very well, don't we? So, stop wasting money we don't have recruiting/developing these guys. It's a bad business plan for G6s.

Most P4 schools don't want to run Air Raid/Option offenses. Those G6 schools that recruit/develop players to run these types of offenses will be the norm very soon.

You are so right!
