NIL has really changed recruiting, but imo the portal and 1 free transfer packed the most punch.

Will we see in the years to come, multiple big name players from top universities all transfer to one school to get a trophy before going to the NFL?

What’s to stop them? Any big or small school would welcome it and even throw huge money at them via NIL to come.

I know there’s a lot more at play in CFB (signing limits etc). It only takes one year to set a precedent and then the kids will think it’s cool to do so. And with grey shirt/walk-on loopholes coupled with NIL, scholarships aren’t a necessity anymore.

Only 2-3 teams have a chance at a championship each year, so how worse could it get?

Is that really worse than Bama, Ohio State and Clemson being in the playoff repeatedly?

Yes. Eli Ricks, a cornerback on an okay team at a top 20 program (LSU) realized he could do a little better by joining a great team at a top 3 program (Bama).

If this guy is okay casually jumping to his team's bitter rival after two years of competition just for a slight upgrade, the mid level and smaller guys don't have a chance at keeping talent.

The irony of the NIL and transfer rules is that they should give the mid level schools a better chance to compete with the elites, but in reality it’s going to widen the gap.

I can't imagine the current free for all lasting much longer.

Five of the six are not only inside the top 12 nationally in 2019 athletic budgets but also have reeled in the best talent in the nation over the last decade. In a study from MaxPreps, seven college football programs have signed 55% of the five-star prospects from ’11 to ’21. They include LSU, Alabama, Clemson, Florida State and Ohio State, as well as USC and Georgia, the ’21 national champion. ...
