Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz Issues Stark Warning: Could College Football Face a Dodgers-Marlins Disaster?
“If you’re going to have teams that have $45M rosters competing against teams that have $15M and $20M rosters, you’re going to run the risk of turning into Major League Baseball, where you have the LA Dodgers and the Florida Marlins,” Drinkwitz explained. “And that’s a professional league that’s not growing, that’s struggling in their TV deals.”
Drinkwitz is on the right track with what he is saying because, despite the House settlement, which allowed all schools to pay players directly, some schools are still investing heavily in NIL. When schools pump a lot of money into NIL, on top of direct payments from the school, the competitive gap will only grow.
