If we do not set up an organization to manage NIL, it doesnt matter who the coach is

Think about this, Tank threatens to leave...and is given NIL money and stays.

Months, months before, Saban is on a recruiting trip and coaches gathering speaking event. He just mentions NIL and the huge sum Bryce is getting.

Texas A*M signs the highest rated recruiting class, and on signing day signs yet another high high 4 star DL to go with the other truckload they already have.

Now which ones look like schools understanding NIL???

This is not something the coaches even manage, its an entirely separate entity that manages all player contracts on one side and another division to manage fund raising on the other, be it sponsorships, donations etc.

Coaches identify the targets and the NIL company puts together the deals for the coaches to present.

Separately, you will also need another branch of recruiting coordinators and assts to keep in contact with those players who signed with another school, or ones who emerge we want (obviously through 3rd parties since you cant actively recruit another signed player). But you have to have this because the portal will become as important as free agency in the pros.

Its become a big business and you need someone like a Carmen Policy from the days of San Frans hay days. Not some retired football player who knows nothing about running a business.
