I wonder when he gets the money? Is it up front, or after he's played a period of time? Is that 9.5 mil for one year or four? How long would he even have to play college ball before he'd a multi-millionaire?
If players are getting this kind of money, are they even held to APR requirements? Technically, he could just be a walk-on, and not regulated through the NCAA as a scholly player right? He probably has to be enrolled to play, but is there anything preventing him from taking like 1 survey course per semester and leaving after 3 years?I wonder when he gets the money?

Jaden Rashada turned down millions, will still have highest known NIL deal for recruits
Jaden Rashada “left millions on the table” from NIL by picking Miami over Florida. Yet, his deal looks to be the richest ever for a recruit.www.on3.com
Would they be held to APR requirements - absolutely. If they are recruited athletes they would fall under APR.
I keep hearing people say the top 25 to 30 teams are going to move and form their own group. Why would any of the top teams want to do this? They like the current competitive imbalance just fine. Do you really think Alabama only wants to compete against teams that can spend the same amount (or more) money they can spend? There’s a reason the SEC continually votes to only play 8 conference games each year. They want their 4 patsies; they want their 7 to 8 home games.
Miami drug money is unlimited and neverending
The only thing that will keep The U from winning big is lack of control of the players- give a kid 9.5 million dollars down there in Miami and see how much damage he can do to himself, his teammates and his team, how much motivation will there be to practice once you have that? This is going to most likely be a disaster that we will see tv specials about someday.
You could have posted this a decade ago. We were done, as were many, way before NIL.
Man, I'm talking about not even breaking the top 25 at all. We have at least been that relevant. That might even be an unrealistic expectation at this rate with the money that is flying around.
Yeah we're playing a different game at this point. I doubt we'll ever see one GT recruit get a $1MM+ NIL offer, let alone multiple in a class like other schools today.
And it's not headed in a good direction.

This is like reading your own obituary.This is a great read on the future of college football.
College Football 2.0: Leadership void must be filled to address sport's uncertain, unregulated future
The future of college football is up for grabs, and a leader must emerge
Harsh reality there. I am afraid of what top college football becomes and even more afraid of what’s left over.
Before Nil = a golf ball size boil on one's butt. After NIL = Stone Mountain sitting on one's chest. Size matters, especially when NIL is combined with TP.
It's a good read, I just don't see how any of the proposals will improve anything. Getting rid of the NCAA, and getting everyone to agree on an all powerful Czar who will do much of what the NCAA was doing (after rebuilding from scratch) and handle financial matter with the CFP seems like a recipe for disaster. Everyone who hates the NCAA today will be hating the new Czar's office within 5 years. Either that or they just turn College Football into a complete free for all with hardly any rules or regulations, which would eventually burn the sport to the ground.This is a great read on the future of college football.

Eh. There is a political board for this kind of discussion. https://gtswarm.com/threads/political-topics-at-georgia-tech-swarm.21389/
Your last sentence is what the likes of Saban and Smart are concerned about.
