The playoff will give us more competitive games they said
Edit: that was a BOOMING kick off tho
College football is like European soccer. A few big teams take all the top talent. The rest just aren't equal.
With NIL, top teams can't hoard top players so the difference between top teams and midlevel teams is much closer.
NIL and the transfer portal haven't leveled the field. It's still the haves, the sort of haves and the barely a team schools. About half the playoff teams this year were top 15 or so nil programs. If you count those that won a game, Penn State is the lowest spender, but still in the top 30.
It's a high variability game, so money isn't going to equal wins constantly (see Texas a&m).
NIL and the transfer portal made it better, 4 star recruits are no longer sitting on the bench, they go to programs where they can play.
