But the 10-15% of football players you reference, basically all the 4 and 5 star players and 3s that are borderline 4s, about 500 players in all, drive the economics of college football. These are the players requiring regulation. Obviously, those players not able to command big NIL payouts aren’t the issue

It's the 5 star only at the premium positions that are gaining from NIL...It's why you see so many QB's transferring all the time, even the starters transferring from one program to the next. 17% of the college players actually benefit from NIL of the 17%, less than 2% make significant earnings in pro sports.
