It still won't level it completely ... nothing will (and it never has been level anyway). But that 17th 5 star player for Bama may instead want to go to a Tennessee or an Iowa instead so that he can make some better endorsement money with playing time earlier on top of all the other reasons to look at other programs. I think this will be a great thing for college football, and an even better thing for the athletes who are completely taken advantage of today. It just takes some $$ away from the athletic departments, which is why they have opposing it forever.

And honestly, there is no reason these players shouldn't be compensated for things like that. It's about damn time this changes.
