Now that the season is over, it will be interesting to see what happens moving forward.
NIL "$20M Buckeye roster" was tossed around a lot. We were not the highest NIL money team though. There were quite a few in the upper teens to lower $20s. Outside of Caleb Downs, Quinshon Judkins, Will Howard, our injured Bama center. . . .who else did we pull in? I know we spent some coin on seniors who wanted to come back to win a couple titles and beat UM. We have some HS recruits like Smith.
Compare this to other teams. I don't know details on other teams but I suspect it wasn't much different. What happened to the SEC this year? Even playing field since they weren't the only ones paying players? I don't know if that is true but it is heavily rumored. What other schools can we expect to become perennial contenders? Is the 12 team format staying the same?
The face of college football has changed. That much is given. Be interesting going forward.
