Something tells me that the idea of having to pay money to terminate a contract early would come as a huge shock to a lot of these guys. If they had to pay back 20% of the value of their NIL deals to be able to transfer without getting sued for breach of contract it might actually fix a lot of the problems.

Exactly. The current conversation is framed around a misunderstanding of a coach’s contractual obligation, and it is apparently assumed by most that coaches are free to leave a job Willie nillie without buyouts coming into play.
