I'd assume this might benefit the bigger markets like L.A. unless there's a cap put on it.

Bigger markets don't necessarily translate the same way with college sports. more about alumni base and fan base than just the map.

Bigger teams profit once more, smaller market teams suffer greatly

Not necessarily

It will benefit schools with rich donors and alumni

For example, this. An really help aTm, Texas and Oregon.

Unless there is a cap, what’s to stop Phil Knight from putting Oregon players on Nike billboards or commercials for a million dollars a pop.

That's the least of the problems its going to cause.

This will open Pandora's box with respect to buying players and, worse, buying free agents. It will now be within the rules for an Alabama booster, for example, to offer a Joe Burrow, for example, a high dollar contract to rep his business...in a year when Burrow happens to decide to transfer to Alabama.

This is going to fundamentally change college football in a very bad way. So many people weren't willing to look past their own nose.
