Changing college landscape

With schools allowed to pay players now, Texas A&M just beat out Alabama for the number 1 recruiting class.

In the next couple years we might be seeing different schools at the top.

Im glad the kids are getting paid. Its long over due. And I hope to see teams knock off Alabama, in recruiting and eventually as champions.

Players aren't getting paid directly by the colleges, are they? You're referring to NIL deals?

Colleges are not paying players. However, some schools or conferences might institute rules governing NIL. Schools or conferences with no rules or limitations might have an advantage.

The NCAA NIL rules do not override state, college/university or conference specific NIL rules. This means student-athletes need to review the NIL rules in the state where their school is located and check with their athletic department for any school and conference-specific rules to understand what limitations they will have on their NIL.

College student-athletes competing in states without an NIL law will have the freedom to receive compensation for their NIL however they see fit, as long as they do not violate pay-for-play or receive financial incentives to sign with or remain at a program.

No salary cap and free agency (they get the one free portal without sitting)….times are changing for sure. There are kids that literally will make more staying in college with the NFL rookie contracts.
