That's an optimistic take but it misses how this actually plays out. The cap just establishes a new floor that the top programs will immediately exceed through booster collectives and third-party deals. Texas and Ohio State aren't suddenly going to stop spending. They'll just get more creative. For a program like UConn, competing for recruits against even middle-tier Power Four schools becomes harder, not easier, because their local business support can't match the organized machine at a place like Boston College or Syracuse. Our 2024 recruiting class ranked outside the top 100 nationally. A revenue-sharing cap doesn't magically fix that gap. It might slightly compress the very top, but it widens the chasm between the middle and the bottom. The idea that Alabama will become less strategic while we become more competitive isn't backed by recent history. Look at UConn Huskies's roster turnover. We lost key players to the portal this offseason, and a uniform cap doesn't prevent that. The structural advantages for established programs are too deeply ingrained. This rule might help the Clemsons of the world keep pace with Georgia, but it does little for Independents without a major conference revenue stream. Our path was always through development and scheme, not winning bidding wars. This doesn't change that calculus.
