The path to D2 dominance isn’t as outrageous as one thinks.
If you had an NIL collective that covered full tuition and some spending money for top athletes and a program with state of the art facilities you would remove the incentive for the top D2 athletes to jump ship.
Think through all the walk on D1 kids who If they can get free college and some extra spending money and get to play for 4 years would be wayyy better off long term than tackling dummy at a P6 program.
Also, I’m more convinced then ever a kid nowadays can go from any school to the NFL if they can play.
