I agree to an extent. Obviously we all recognize that bags were dropped for top players, and while there is no data out there detailing how much money changed hands... it's pretty obvious that more money has entered the game (for obvious reasons, mainly legality). So I think it's important to recognize that the increase in amounts these kids are being paid was a market correction, in and of itself.
I'm not an expert on NIL, but I believe some schools/states are being held back a bit at the moment (waiting for NIL laws to come into effect). Meaning, at some time in the near future even more money will become eligible to pay players. If that part is true, it's not unfathomable to think that deals could increase as the pool of money increases (as the amount of top players (candidates for deals) remains largely static). Just my two cents
