Nick Saban and Pete Bevacqua argue that NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) is transforming college football into a pay-for-play system, but the article counters that the dominance of major programs has existed for decades. They criticize the arms race in spending and unlimited transfer portals, yet the list of national champions since 2000 shows no small schools have won titles in recent years, indicating systemic imbalance predates NIL.
