That Heisman candidate RB is a hell of a lot more important than his position coach.Take money from the staff salaries and get better players.

I think you’re missing the point. If you take 25% of the revenue, you have 25% less of your operating budget to spend everywhere else. That’s A LOT of money when you’re talking about 100+ million in revenue a year at bigger programs. You don’t take it away from coaches and reallocate it to players. You give revenue to players and make cuts elsewhere to stay in the black. You pay out 20-25 million each year in revenue you’re bringing in, programs will have no choice but to cut costs elsewhere
