What I think we will see three years from now that NIL is not even an issue anymore as it will result in a very small number of players getting really crazy deals while the rest of the folks will be able to make a few extra bucks on the side that they should have been able to do forever.

This, this, a thousand times this.

Not really, no. I think it's a slope that will do nothing but reinforce the current dynamics and power structure of college football. Even if it does add an element of 'pay-to-play', I'm confident it will be right in line with current team/conference clout and will change precisely nothing. Oklahoma will get exactly the same level of players they've always gotten - only now the athletes who they've profited off of for decades will finally get a little extra cash for their trouble.

And, gee, if some school like App State wants to spend a little more to get a little more, great! Pay the laborers what they're worth to your program. What a novel concept.
