In P12 perhaps, but I suspect they may not have the juice to compete with the SEC for top talent.
Of course no one gives a rat's ass about these guys if they are playing on a minor league football team. It's purely their association with a college football team that makes their personal brand valuable.
NCAA should have given the kids a stipend a while ago, but the cat is out of the bag wrt player compensation now and I don't see how it gets solved in a way that Stanford could or should compete. I expect that plenty of other schools will be in a similar spot, and we'll be left with a very diminished college football landscape that will ultimately be worse off for players, schools, and fans.
