Sure, anything is possible. We aren’t the Soviet Union…yet, lol. And on the margins, we’ve seen waves of ups and downs of schools.
But, look at the top 25 on any given year going back decades and decades. You will see the same 20ish schools. That is not a bug, it’s a feature. They OWN this sport. All others play at their whim and fancy.
NIL? I just don’t see it as this huge disruptor of the power dynamic that has been there forever. We’ll see in 20 years post NIL if the same 20ish schools continue to dominate the polls. If so, then, just like the big nonsense mass delusion that the “NCAA” is an independent governing body, all this NIL noise will be nothing more than window dressing.
