💨 Abstract

The 2025 college football season is approaching with significant changes. Players can now be paid directly by schools for using their name, image, and likeness (NIL). This blurs the line between amateur and professional status. Revenue sharing and climbing costs mean fans may face higher ticket prices and fees. Notable changes include Coach Deion Sanders' health updates and new coaching staff, as well as Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson's emergence.
