If the fan interest and loyalty is attached to the top athletes
I never said that. The ability to win games and championships is tied to elite talent. If a school wants to win, it will join the Arms race for that elite talent, as every top program in the country has done instead of saving $50 million in player expenses.
Why every pro football league has failed isn't relevant. Americans don't watch or attend non big r league sports except except minor league baseball.
Every basketball league in the US has failed except the NBA and the old CBA too
Does that suggest anything either? No

They're team sports athletes, how else would they create their value besides playing for a team???
And this is a silly argument. 5 stars transfer all ome and retain their value. 0 star D3 guys go from nothing in NIL to $2 million a year when they move up to Power 4 schools, so they mist have some value?
At the end of the day they would be replacing talent with lower talent. A school that goes from 10-2- every year to 7-5 under cheaper player, starts losing to all of its ricals loses value. A dominant program makes more money than meddling one.
The incentive to win championships and rivalry games can't be ignored. As long as it exists its better to pay a elite QB $3 million instead of $200k
Schools have done the math and assumed being cheap hurts them in the long run.
They're here to make money and win games.Otherwise, why aren't schools just cutting their losses already if they don't need em?

This bill is never going to get passed because politicians just can’t help themselves with the filing of never ending amendments.

Congress isn't serious about passing this bill at all. They wrote it in a way that wouldn't pass, and it has since had a bunch of add-ons that make it even less likely.

Why is capping coaching salaries the line when they are capping players income?

Clearly the players have market value because schools, boosters, collectives and sponsors have shown they’re willing to spend a ton of money competing for their services.
Schools are competing for Services, not a players NIL. Schools are looking for players, not spokesmen. They aren’t looking for teenagers that need a lot of help to qualify for admission, or endorse them academically.
NIL in its present form is purely pay for playing a sport, which makes them all pros.
