    Not salaries per se, but it would be appropriate to have a spending cap — on recruiting and NIL. Don’t tell me they couldn’t make an effort to control it to some degree

    The feds have already made it clear that any attempt to regulate it will be met with litigation. They’re not going to let you limit their earning potential. They don’t limit this money for NFL athletes either.

    Then how do they have salary caps in the pros? They enforce something

    It's the weight class for wrestlers, not his weight. The next lower is 215, meaning he couldn't cut weight to 215, which does surprise me or he couldn't beat out a classmate at 215. Either is interesting to me.

    Maybe in being disciplined at their roles, but are they making plays while being disciplined.

    You can implement a salary cap if the schools and players agree to that, but you can’t limit the NIL money. Right now the laws don’t even allow that though, and the NFL doesn’t limit NIL money either.

    NFL never had a third party system installed to fund the teams. NFL fans are asked to buy tickets and beer. College fans are ask to fund the entire athletic dept, on top of buying tickets and concessions. The way the teams are funded makes them too different to assume what works for one will automatically work for the other. We don’t even have salaries for college athletes, so the salary cap argument will continue to make no sense.

    They enforce payroll and free agents. Nil does affect that.

    When the haves and have not get even further apart than they currently are, and viewership of games on TV declines rapidly.... that is when NIL change will occur. TV money runs college football and NIL will destroy interest in the game when it makes it 4 teams competing for NC every year and no one ever comes close to sniffing the trophy.

    It been like that forever already. There has only been 14 schools in the last 30 years that have won.

    Look at the history, it's always been a handful of teams that ever had a chance.
