Could be. That's a school with a lot of money and rich alumni that has never really put much of that money toward football. This seems likely to be their plan to become a "football school" in the era of NIL and the 12 team playoff. As you said, lots of schools will have a shot that did not before. Although NIL with make the pool relatively small.

The thing about NIL, I think it’s gonna open it up to non traditional schools.
My problem with the BCS is that if you weren’t a traditional power or deemed not worthy because of TV ratings (Utah and Boise St come to mind), you weren’t gonna get to the natty even if you went undefeated.


A 12 team playoff AND NIL is gonna turn a few basketball schools into football schools.
And more schools in metro populations.
