Crazy what happens when others can pay with impunity

The SEC schools, for the most part, are not in ideal situations to take advantage of NIL.
The BIG 10 schools like Michigan, Illinois, USC, have not only a large alumni base, but they have a very wealthy alumni base. Not people who own car dealerships and local businesses, but people who are CEO’s of multi-national companies.
The same is true of Miami. The Mas brothers and the Soffer family were never going to give out cash in McDonalds bags. But they can financially support athletics above the table for as long as they care to without even feeling the financial difference.
The SEC is not going away, but expect that league to become a loud voice for NIL regulation/reform/limitations.

What I have many others smarter than me on this site have said about the SEC(mainly Alabama UGA, and Clemson) is once NIL and transfer portal was birthed, the playing field across CFB was leveled. Simple as that. I am sure they will find a way to regain their hold on CFB with some type of ridiculous regulations and such.

Car dealership owners no longer cut it in this open multi billion dollar business.

One could do this for every conference, yet, it’s more fun to do it for the SEC; it is incredible how many of their top prospects started off elsewhere.
Just going up the top 50 list: Branch, Burks, Young, Cisse, Banks, Conception, Howell, McCoy, and Delane.
3 B1G & 4 ACC & Howell from Bowling Green & McCoy from Oregon State. 9 in total, both of their top twenty guys; half of the 18 they have in the top 50. Even Chris Brazzell who dropped out of the top 50 is a Tulane transfer
