def leveled the playing field... first, remember when the 4 team playoff first came out? Yes some small issues over schools 5-7 but no one ever really batted an eye at teams 10+ because you had 4-6 premier teams hogging all the talent, then it would fall off a cliff and there was a huge gap between those two tiers, that has definitely closed.
Second, I love Coach O's interview he did recently, question was asked if he got back into coaching how difficult would it be to adjust to NIL? something like that, his response was well not different at all, I coached in the SEC, so instead of bringing the money through the back door I only need to get used to bringing it through the front door lol
