Kirk Herbstreit Believes NCAA Has Lost Power Due to NIL

While NIL deals have changed the college football landscape and can be looked at as a positive, Kirk Herbstreit believes that the NCAA has lost its control.

Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback and current analyst for ESPN, knows the college game better than anyone.

A federal judge barred the NCAA from enforcing NIL rules to recruit athletes in Tennessee and Virginia over earlier in February. 

Herbstreit, however, believes they’ve lost all of its power with the new landscape. He had the following to say on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.”

“I feel like the NCAA has lost any power whatsoever in college football,” he said.

Herbstreit added that he wouldn’t be surprised if conferences continued to break up and potentially break away from the NCAA.
