A topic that’s been coming up with increasing frequency is competitive balance in the NIL era. Are we headed to a time when the schools with the most money will get all the best players and win all the titles? And is there anything we can do about it?
The short answer is no, and also that college football will continue to be what it largely always has been.
College football as a whole has fought over competitive balance for most of its history. The fight usually hasn’t been over how it could be implemented but rather whether it should be a goal at all.
