Problem is even if the SEC and BIG did their own thing the same rules as far as NIL would apply as I understand the situation. I'm losing interest in college football quickly. I have been a life long fan. I have loved Bama as long as I can remember. I spent my childhood watching and listening to Bama games with my dad, but I'm just caring less and less.
If the BIG and SEC set up a reasonable NIL system and the BIG 12, ACC, and some of the group of 5 teams don't the players will just go there and Oklahoma State and Clemson, just for two names to throw out, will be the big dogs now. The players will go where the money flows the most.
