Because every other school is doing it, and if you don’t, you will fall behind.

I agree in general that the whole thing is getting way out of hand, but that is the current landscape, unfortunately.

How does it get reigned in? Will it be the NCAA or will it have to be a significant number of boosters getting burned with little to no ROI?

Schools probably funnel money to the collectives via some back door already

There are ~130 FBS teams.. only a small % can support a true collective for NIL.
