With the Portal, players are mercenary free agents
Players' demands for compensation now are unbounded
To pay the players, profits from football will be driven into the ground
as all revenue up to the last dollar is used to pay the players

I'm not a lawyer, but the colleges will have to find a way
to legally collude to limit transfers and cap the salaries to players
