It creates an English Premier soccer league world.  If you are a big team (status & nil $) you will be a magnet that yearly can draw the top talent from across the "lesser" teams/leagues every off-season. Great to be UConn caliber, & know you can just potentially replenish your roster yearly if recruiting doesnt come through in given year.

Pitino's point about leagues like the MAC is valid, as the rest of the countries teams will be turned into minor leagues, just developing players to be poached next year by the "Premier league" teams.  I dont begrudge the great players in smaller programs getting their names out/NIL $ (Cam from Loyola U) but it would stink for a mid-major program and coach trying to develop a team IMHO.

Over time there won't be as many Florida Atlantics or Gonzaga breaking through unless they have NIL $. If I was a coach of a mid-level league (or a Depaul bottom dweller) I would be recruiting players from overseas as much as possible, as they rarely get NIL due to the rules
