Summary
Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz expressed concerns about the impact of increased money in college football, warning that it could lead to a larger talent gap between top and bottom teams. However, this gap has always existed in college football, and the influx of money may only exacerbate the issue. Drinkwitz compared the potential outcome to Major League Baseball, where wealthy teams dominate. The article argues that Drinkwitz’s concerns are valid but that the issue is not new to college football.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
College football’s money problem is not new, but the NIL Era has brought it to the forefront. Coaches like Eli Drinkwitz are sounding the alarm, but the gap between top and bottom teams has always existed. The real question is, will anyone notice the difference? The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
