Maybe. It's the wild west right now. We shall see what happens with Miami, but unlike Florida or even FSU, Miami doesn't have much of a fanbase. What fanbase they have are total bandwagon fans. It's a private school that draws its student body from all over the US (a lot of Northeast), and when Miami is mediocre (which has been the norm for a decade) no one cares about Miami football. They struggle to fill 1/3 of the seats Hard Rock Stadium. If Florida has a bad year, they still fill the Swamp.
As for WF, I don't see the NIL thing having a huge impact on football recruiting. WF doesn't recruit against the schools that will offer the most lucrative NIL opportunities. If it comes to the point where WF can't keep up with NC State, VT, UVA and Duke football NIL opportunities, then WF is in trouble. Realize that its early, but WF is having a very good football recruiting year so far in 2021. Maybe that changes in 2022 and beyond, but I have faith in the intelligence and adaptability of Clawson, Forbes and Currie.
I don't think intelligence will have much to do with this oncoming debacle of college sports. Unless a retreat to the Southern Conference.
