Clowns have been obsessed with players driving used $15k Chargers for years... now our QB is pulling up in a Ferrari.

I can understand that point, so you have moved it about 18 or so years before the BCS era. That was still the era before the Boom in TV revenues, in those days a few 5 star recruits got money to come to your school. But now, you are talking about NIL for any player on your team and transfer portal. But yes, it has been moving that way starting in the 1980's but has accelerated the last 20 years.

Working for Bama for now...
I think NIL will level the playing field somewhat. Just look at some of the wealthiest fanbases. This is a list of the Top 20 schools as measured by the total estimated wealth of ultra-high net worth alumni:
Stanford - $2.9T (a distribution of over 5500 individuals)
Univ of Michigan - $691B
Southern Cal - $548B
Texas - $463B
Northwestern - $389B
UCLA - $375B
Miami - $309B
Univ of Virginia - $246B
Notre Dame - $179B
Link to the article below. BTW, UHNW is defined as individuals with a net worth of over $30mm. This list was based upon those individuals only. Additionally, just think about all of the non-UHNW millionaires big-enrollment schools like Texas, Ohio State, and Texas A&M produce.
If one of the top schools on this list wants to be a contender, they now have NIL as a tool in their bag to get to the top echelon. Arguably, none of the schools on this list is currently a contender (unless you consider ND) – good programs but not contenders.
If the number is now $2mm for a top-tier QB, what happens when someone like Michael Dell drops $10-15mm on that kid? May be more difficult for schools in poorer states (and less affluent fan bases) to compete.

Saban just won over a ton of recruits. The Bama Dynasty is here to stay.

ha. People like this guy would sacrifice his own team if it would hurt Alabama.
This is just another LSU fan talking about what's gonna hurt Alabama, just before Alabama uses it to their advantage.
Most of those institutions are run by raging liberals that hate football anyway.

Honestly shocked that Saban outed him like this?

It was the entire purpose of the statement and I don't believe him for a second.
I don't Bryce Young is anywhere close to $1 million.

^^^This is all wrong. Alums at many of the wealthiest schools don't give a crap about football. This is about marketing and whose alums care the most about college football. That's us. Bama. And, being the QB at Bama is the most marquee position in college football. I remember a friend of mine had a professor at Ohio State who was from NYC. The professor told my friend he's a Bama fan because in the 70s they would see Bama on TV every week. Bama is simply the king of college football. Deal with it. Our Madison Avenue profile casts a shadow on the rest of college football.

You think other schools are going to have trouble competing with bumblefrick Bama boosters?
Now that it’s legal to pay players, wealthy boosters at numerous schools won’t hesitate to drop coin.
Sure… you can do Bama, or get paid more somewhere to be the marketing face of the program and not have to wait or compete for a spot.
And places will learn quickly when guys they market flame out hard or transfer to play with their money more carefully.
We'll see how well that plays out for a school like Missouri.

Sabans about to get yet another raise and a big one at that.

Earlier someone mentioned the lower class players not making much money out of this new big thing.
At alabama every scholarship player and invited walk on will be assigned a member of tREC.
Alabama plans ahead…
