More times than not, and unlike the NFL, the history of college football suggests it has never been a competition between equals.
It's always been a bad "buy a championship" "make a mockery of the student-athlete" version of semi-pro football.
Pre NIL: wins/championships were based on "under the table" purchase of "student-athletes" and thus wins and championships.
NIL era? Now It's Legal: if a school is willing, and they have a sugar daddy, then they can buy wins and championships.
