True, but also . . . donations to an athletic department should theoretically be applied to things that help schools attract/retain players. Stadiums/arenas, facilities, recruiting budget, etc. To the extent NIL money flows directly to the players, some of those things will probably be less important to recruits. Ultimately, schools with the most/wealthiest donors will likely still end up in a good positions, the money will just be distributed differently.
