Clearly this is already true for the elite stars.
But will Universities eventually have to shell out for everyone on the team... or lose players to schools that will do so?

These are private contracts between the player and company.
Please provide a real life example.

The new Gug expansion will be very big - more room for assistants, dietary, in house zoom class options with tutors there to explain so that you don’t need to waste time jumping all around campus with busy schedules in addition to football(sad), state of the art facilities, etc.
I attended an NCAA qualifying meet at Purcell behind the Gug - ND, Big10, SEC, ACC, Mountain West - is the largest indoor track available I believe….and they plan to upgrade it again too.
I saw multiple new dorms being built (not just replacements for Pangborn, Fisher, etc), but the new gorgeous brick & cement arched Ivy buildings……they are clearly planning to expand enrollment which will also raise a lot of cash - just guessing here, but I’d guess about by 15%. This might explain Mendoza Business School starting up a new “Honors College”to protect itself from the potential dilution (I do not like this but it is what most other colleges do these days).
Bottom line, I actually believe that ND has the wherewithal to compete against ANY of the football powers if they want to (unless Harvard, Yale or Stanford decide to jump in).
Just rambling here Knute, but I wonder if the B10 and SEC themselves will even exist past their next tv contract.
I don’t see teams like OSU continuing to want to share money with teams like Rutgers when the money race presses them to keep up.
I see the potential for a super conference of teams at that point - and these old conference powers don’t have statute of limitations in their contracts.
Not sure when the ACC will fold, but I see ND joining in at either of these times (super conference or reg conf to start if ACC folds first)….but it was REALLY. Clear that ND plans on being part of it all.
