NIL: Has College Football Gone Totally Wild?

NIL's been the talk of college football for ages, but lately, it's like someone cranked the volume to eleven!

Trump, Saban, and the NIL Firestorm

The possibility of a Trump-led intervention to bring order to the NIL chaos, plus whispers of Nick Saban getting involved, have turned up the heat. U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville has been leading the charge to fix this messed-up system.

Tuberville Sounds the Alarm

Tuberville is worried about non-revenue sports getting axed and big-money schools gaining unfair advantages. He recently dropped a truth bomb Alabama fans will understand: Texas could become unstoppable thanks to their deep pockets!

"Nobody's Ever Going to Beat Them Again"

"You're going to eliminate 90 percent of schools because they don't have the money," Tuberville said, referencing the Longhorns. "Nobody's ever going to beat them again if we allow them to keep going the way they're going."

The Rich Get Richer

Okay, maybe Texas won't become unbeatable, but Tuberville's got a point. NIL was supposed to level the playing field, but instead, the wealthy programs are just getting wealthier. If things don't change, expect more of the same!
