Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops has voiced concerns about the uneven competition in college football due to NIL deals, notably emphasizing how engaged donors with substantial funds have skewed recruiting advantages, particularly in the SEC.
Stoops believes upcoming changes set for July 1, introducing guardrails around NIL, are expected to level the playing field by preventing excessive donor influence and encouraging true name, image, and likeness opportunities.
These changes might facilitate Kentucky's competitiveness by promoting revenue sharing and legitimate oversight.
Stoops remains optimistic about Kentucky's progress, commending the team’s offseason efforts and discipline.
