The exchange of wealth will look like the NFL by the time it is said and done. You'll have most of your starters making more money than their head coach. Try telling a 17-22 year old what to do when his paycheck is bigger than yours. Good luck with that college coaches...

This is the dynamic in all sports that I can think of and players are still taking orders and instruction from coaches. I don't know what you're looking at.

That has yet to exist on the college level. Grown men are mature enough to make more than their coach and allow them to coach them hard. Try doing that to a kid. You're naive if you don't think there will be issues that root from this dynamic.

You obviously haven't coached athletes in this age range in the past 20 years. You sound clueless...

I think it's silly that coaches are paying for these things.

But if players don't care about being developed and just want to go to the highest bidder, then the value of coaches who develop talent and do more than play call etc will certainly diminish.

People talk about the high cost of coaches,and that's because of what they provided. Which was a benefit to the players even though some ignorant people pretend otherwise. That was $10 million coach who was teaching those 85-125 kids the game, life and so on in addition to managing all the rest.

Now you spend 2 years developing a kid and suddenly he transfers to the highest bidder once he's developed some skills. All the money spent to do so ends up wasted.

And many of the better players don't really want to be developed at all, or don't want to put in the work. And that's the difference between being a talented player and being an elite player.

It doesn't seem sustainable long term.

This just sounds like boomer nonsense to me

The vast majority of coaches have been obscenely overpaid. The players were being taken advantage of financially, to the benefit of coaches salaries and sports that lose money for the athletic department

Because you are stupid and have likely never had a job with high levels of responsibilities including having your entire life and everything you say and do be in the public eye.

You probably think every job is like working at McDonalds and thus you ignorantly equate that level of duty and responsibility to guys making $10 million a year.

Even further, your ignorance then has you focus only on the 4 hours on Saturday in which you watch the players play with the coaches on the sideline to come this conclusion that the players are the only ones doing the work and that they are being taken advantage of - despite it being an opportunity the majority of people would love to have. We have kids going into major amounts of debts for a fraction of the benefits.

You don't see or account for all the extra hours the coaches put in. You have no idea the difficulties of managing people, and so on.

The worse part is your ignorance is widespread among many and that's why we are getting a fricked up system as a result.

In many cases, the coaches themselves are former players who had to spend decades perfecting their craft. And yet you judge them based on their performance to other coaches to say they are overpaid.

Congrats. You embody every bit of ignorance and entitlement I have come to expect from the most recent generations.

PS: I'm Gen X. You can tell because I don't give a frick about your feelings.
