NIL and D3.

it's March, I think some speculation on these comments is fully acceptable on the d3boards, right?

I've got my guesses on the six

Here are Marey Roby and JP Sullivan's testing results from the Western Illinois combine.

4.87 40 and 32 bench makes pretty good sense for how Sullivan was a game wrecker at DT for years at the D3 level.  I'd no doubt give him a shot in my mini camp if I was an NFL team.  Reminds me of Tom Lally from Mount a decade ago, got a tryout with the Panthers. 

It's just never been tougher for D3FB guys to get a shot in the NFL

I think limiting this to just 6 schools would be the biggest amount of speculation. Every single school who hopes to be competitive in the next few years of college football is already in the NIL space in one form or another. Love it or hate it, its here and if your school isn't using it they are falling behind.

I talk about this in the podcast that we dropped today:

The one school that is regularly ID'ed in the scuttlebutt is not someone one would suspect.
