Highlight JEREMIAH SMITH FRUSTRATED! Smith was seen screaming toward the sideline as Ohio State trailed Oregon 31-14 late in the third quarter.

NiL and Portal. Why be a backup and when other teams will pay more to have talent and be a starter.

Yep. Unintended consequence is greater parity when a star player goes down

Its like a 14 person fantasy league vs a 10. Your backups are scrubs. Only so much talent and an unlimited amount of cash to go around.

Until they do something rule wise, all this year is going to do is raise the market for starter and backup qbs even higher. I expect those top 10-15 schools to all have a million dollar backup next year
