[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 932526, member: 1555"] This may be correct, but I remain hopeful that some alternate means of reining in the "stockpiling of talent", as [USER=1237]@iceeater1969[/USER] put it, is available to the college game. As you stated, NIL can't really be limited without a special exemption. That leaves the schools themselves as the only entities that can legally have restrictions. The NCAA has addressed this problem over the years by incrementally creating more restrictive scholarship limits. The NCAA could, for example, again drastically reduce the allowed number of scholly's. This might help some, but the top players now stand to gain more in NIL income than the value of a scholarship, which undermines the limit concept. Also, it would be seen as removing educational opportunities for the lower-tier athletes who otherwise might get a full ride. Thus it would be highly unpopular. Certainly, the transfer rules can be tweaked/restored to discourage tampering. I agree with [USER=5618]@Root4GT[/USER] that, ultimately, TV revenue is steering the ship. But I also think that the majority of NCAA member schools want some semblance of parity, or else the market for the product will erode. Again, restricting and penalizing [I]schools[/I] seems to be fair game, as long as the member schools agree via the NCAA or conference affiliations. One restriction in place now is the number of on-field coaches. This rule was passed in response to certain teams gaining an advantage via huge coaching staffs. What if the rule was extended to include off-field staff counts? Is it enforceable? Would it help? Just spitballing here with thoughts in the area of feasible restrictions. [/QUOTE]
