NIL and the transfer portal haven’t leveled the field. It’s still the haves, the sort of haves and the barely a team schools. About half the playoff teams this year were top 15 or so nil programs. If you count those that won a game, Penn State is the lowest spender, but still in the top 30.
It’s a high variability game, so money isn’t going to equal wins constantly (see Texas a&m).

NIL and the transfer portal made it better, 4 star recruits are no longer sitting on the bench, they go to programs where they can play.
