Smart kids understand that NIL is chump change compared to NFL money. It's best to go where you will get topnotch development, win at a highly visible program, and have an opportunity to play and shine on the biggest stages. Also, having a world class education and connections after football is a big deal that many don't appreciate. I get it that many of these kids come from backgrounds where it's hard to pass up the biggest NIL package, but those are more than likely the kids who will hit the portal when they're not getting the playing time they think they're entitled to without working hard or another school recruits them into the portal with more NIL or promises of playing time. There are more than enough top players who understand what Sark is offering to build a championship team. Sark is a very bright coach to use NIL to sort them out.

Can you elaborate?
FWIW, very little, here's my take.
In selecting a school college athletes have lots of factors to consider. Which school they think will develop them best, which school will give them the best education and networking opportunities, immediate playing time, coaches and players they feel most comfortable with, which campus and city they like, which program they believe can be super successful, I'm sure I am missing some other factors, but last but definitely not least is compensation.
In the case of Moore I suspect that Oregon checked enough of the boxes that he feels comfortable going there, and weighing everything the superior compensation package tilted the scales.
I think if most of us were in a similar situation, we would explore our options. The money is not chump change. An NFL salary is the objective, but is not a certainty.
Salary caps are in the interests of schools to save money and could help schools with smaller budgets. Salary caps are bad for athletes trying to maximize their compensation. If Texas is really the Jones's then salary caps will not be in our best interests. I have mixed feelings. Like it or not being a top College football program has gotten very expensive, and those costs are likely to increase over the coming years.
We will be more then fine at reciever. I expect Texas to make whatever changes are necessary to stay competitive in recruiting.

Also I believe Coach Sample (son) is at Oregon. I'm sure that helped some.
