Most college coaches make the big bucks because of their ability to recruit, not their X’s and O’s wizardry. If NIL (or whatever) causes the best players to pretty much just start going to the highest bidder, then a big part of the reason coaches are making eight figures will be nullified.
I’m talking about all salaries. Position coaches are making half a million dollars now. Entire staffs are pushing 20 million annually at big schools. It’s actually becoming more lucrative to be a college coach as opposed to the NFL. When you starting cutting into programs’’ profit margins, cuts have to made somewhere. Coaching salaries being out of control is probably a good place to start, just like layoffs that occur in other businesses. Recruiting budgets, amenities, salaries, everything will have to be re-budgeted if colleges are forced to share revenues of tens of millions of dollars a year. Contributions back to the University will also likely stop.

Me too.
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.

Makes perfect sense to me. It’s a step toward fixing the booster pay for play situation. I said a step, not a leap

Well, that’s where those big state dollars allows you to take this bold step.

Just make sure the government gets their cut from your gifted employee performance bonus to some pimple headed 18 year old that thinks he is ready for NFL.

Serious question: Am I wrong for thinking Trev Alberts is throwing every other athletics program in America under the bus for this?
We already know he's a douchebag attention whore. So...

no it's not
as soon as you cap figures off and say, "okay, that's it, you have to be happy with this amount," then they won't be happy with it, and the McDonald's bags will start being passed around again

What is all of this going to do to the sports outside of football and basketball?

LSU started a bidding war with Missouri on our coaches. That is why it isn't good and that is not going to stop LSU to continue to steal other coaches from other schools.

Amateur athletics was always high school athletics. College athletics has always been professional sports. The NCAA lied which is why they are being cut out of high end college sports.

They are still going to suck!

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

LSU did what’s been going on for a long time everywhere. Hell we got into a hypothetical bidding war with Les Miles and his agent to make sure he didn’t go to Arkansas 10+ years ago

RIP. One of my greatest passions in life now dead on arrival. I never saw this coming. 2019 had renewed my interest in college football but that seems like 20 years ago now.

Except, if you're an employee, you sign an employment contract. And that would probably be a 2-4 year contract with incentives on the backside.
Being an employee fixes 95% of these problems. The bag man isn't giving you the bag if you can't come for two years.

It is really going to make a large gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" for better or for worse.

Unless my math is wrong, 20-million divided by 100 players (if divided evenly)...that's $200,000 per year, per player.

Your math may be wrong because it will probably have to stretch across more than just football.
