Football scholarship decision

You are a good high-school student who is also a very good football player who wants a great degree. You get full 4 year scholarship offers from a number of colleges with high academic. Some of these schools will likely have poor seasons for the next 4 years (e.g, Duke, Vandy). At these schools, it is likely you will only play 48 games to cover the scolarship. The other offers come from schools who are yearly national championship contenders under a 12 team playoff system. (E.g., Clemson, tOSU, etc.) This results in a possible 17 game season for 4 seasons or 68 games to cover the scholarship. Which should you chose?

Which team is paying the most for NIL?

Stanford and Northwestern come to mind as universities with Power 5 football programs and very wealthy alumni. If they so desired, they could stack every recruiting class with 5* talent from all across the country.
And those 5*s will most definitely be lured by money. Any competitive player will always choose to play for a team that has a chance to win. And those 5*s aren't choosing between Duke and Alabama. They'll pick Bama 10 times out of 10. But with the new NIL legislation, they just might pick a school that pays them the most AND is surrounding them with other 5*s that want to win Nattys.

At 17 years old, I'd have gone for a title

As a 40 year old looking back, I'd have gone to where I was the stud and the ladies have fewer options.

It's pretty much a sliding scale depending on how good we're saying I am.
If I'm a super-elite 5 Star (like a close to guaranteed All-American), I'm going to the school that gives me the best chance of going pro that doesn't process players like toilet paper. So Clemson/Oklahoma/Ohio State. If I'm very good but not a guaranteed starter at one of those schools, I'd probably go to a school like Wisconsin or Iowa that is extremely good at taking 3 and 4 stars and making NFL players. If the NFL is possible but a longshot, then I'd go to the school that offers the best education and employment prospects. That would be Stanford, Duke, Michigan, UVA, or somewhere like that.
I don't really see a reason to ever go to a school like UGA or Alabama.

It depends what their goals are in life. If the NFL or even coaching is a goal, then it's Clemson. Maybe they want to be an engineer and Clemson works well.. Maybe they want to have some career where another school works better. No telling.
