Would you be pro cap and minimum pay?
I don’t know what the answer is. I do know that the programs with the best combination of money and HC are going to continue to win with or without NIL, regardless of the form of it. You will just have fans with hurt feelings because of player movement, but the fans ultimately will still watch and money will still be made.
IMO, one of the problems is escalating coaches salaries. Why can’t coaches be on a reasonable pay schedule similar to professors? If “the brand” is bringing in all the eyes and money, why does Dabo Swinney need a nine figure contract while some professor at Clemson with a PhD makes, I dunno, low six figures?

Its a fair point. Far more than coaching salaries, the greed of the schools ruined the amateur model. You cant in good faith demand amateurism while you squeeze every dollar out of your alumni/fans, create super-conferences that make no geographic sense and have huge TV contracts with 4 hour games due to the ridiculous commercial
times.
Im fine with revenue sharing but NIL and free agency will destroy the sport if left like this
