I agree mostly with NIL, players getting some compensation is ok...
The problem to me is the unrestricted transfer portal system. Something has to happen there IMO...
College coaches have it hard enough without having to recruit an incoming class plus re-recruit your entire current roster.
If your gonna have NIL, they need some kinda contract/restrictions on your current players. It's become the wild west and I think that's why Saban left and many more good coaches will follow.
The best coaches are making frick you money now. Coach 10 yrs for $10,000,000 and you can GTFO and never worry the rest of your life...

The coaches getting paid argument is flawed. They are the tippy top 1% of their vocation for a reason. Most start out as GAs living out of the dorms and maybe getting minimum wage. They hustle their way up the chain just like a CEO climbs the corporate ladder. A kid coming on campus making millions before taking a single snap has barely climbed out of bed.

I don't think it matters one bit what coaches are being paid in relation to NIL. No matter how many 5 stars on your team you have(Texas A&M, etc.) you still have to have a coach that can motivate,scheme, and game plan to win. Should the players get a piece of the pie, certainly, but this has turned into a runaway train and something has to be done with NIL and the transfer portal before we lose college football forever.
