They might want to change some rules regarding the transfer portal. The combination of NIL money and the transfer portal means schools with money can have the best programs way above other schools. Texas had 6 transfers making major contributions to their success. We all know that there has always been money under the table for athletes.
Now it is wide open like the Wild West and it is going to get worse so we better jump on board. The problem I see with it is you are going to see less high school kids getting scholarships. What they should do is limit how many transfers you should be allowed to have. They should base it on the size of the team. Building half your team by raiding rosters from other schools will create a lopsided system.

I would bet NIL money played a part in Texas in getting those 6 portal transfers. My fear is not that NIL money creates an uneven and unfair playing field in football and men's basketball because they have always been uneven and basically corrupt, but that it will ruin the non or lower revenue sports like volleyball, womens bball, baseball.
 
The rich will get richer with NIL. You hate to see it come down to the non-revenue sports, but like you said, it’s the Wild Wild West.
