I realize that. To clarify my comment, these kids can earn money through marketing deals, etc. using their NIL, but can't just be paid to be a part of the team. The intent is for them to have the ability to earn money , not to guarantee an income because you are part of the team.
You may very well be right, but I figure that the first iteration of a minor league CFB division will include more of the power schools currently than less. But it could be just 24-32 teams, too.
Bob Tyler was probably why we went to 1-aa so easily. The administration had been ready to pounce, and he gave them the opportunity.
Hayden Fry was the anomaly, as we have seen now for the past 45+ years. I wish we would've tried harder to see if Gary Patterson wanted to coach and still live in DFW. Maybe he didn't, maybe he knew that UNT would never be a place he'd want to coach, or maybe he's done with CFB now that NIL and the portal are at play. But he represented the same recipe that we used to get Fry and it remains the only time in the last 50 years where we have been ranked in football.
