re: Pittman on NIL deals: “It’s heading to a disturbing place”

Every conference pays in a percentage of their profit. Every D1 player gets a cut with bonuses for starting. Every player gets paid, and there's no recruiting advantages.

While we're at it, salary caps for coaches.

I can get behind this. The P5 ADs/presidents/conference commissioners need to hold a meeting somewhere and hash all of this out. Let the players get a percentage of these multi-billion-dollar television deals as well as royalties from jersey sales and autograph sessions.

As much as I love Saban, a football coach should not be the highest paid public official in the state.

At least we have Onlyfans now. If's more entertaining than collegiate sports...

Let them build their own stadiums and areas. They are not shite without the University's money.

What a fricking pathetic attempt at a point.

Where do you work? Did you build the office you work out of? Do you fund the business and cover the expenses? Did you yourself build the client base? Did you develop the product? Did you purchase and fund the overseas factory that produces whatever trinket you're selling?

No? Then what is your fricking point? It's always comical to me how your everyday-joe who is happily paid MONEY to go into a workplace where everything is provided for him to do the job all of a sudden wants to pretend that an athlete should play for free because "they didn't build the stadium".

The players are literally the TALENT and the PRODUCT. Arkansas isn't raking in tens of millions of dollars every year in TV revenue alone because people like to watch watch Sam Pittman's fat greasy-headed arse on the sidelines every Saturday.

For the retards on here: this is a sport where HIGH SCHOOL coaches are raking in six-figure per year salaries. HIGH SCHOOL. Some of them make several HUNDRED THOUSAND per year. There are HIGH SCHOOLS that field million-dollar football stadiums. Can you explain that to me? Why is your high school paying a football coach that salary?

But please tell me how the actual players that power this MULTI BILLION dollar industry are fairly compensated by their sChOlArshIp? What, they get to work out for free in a fancy training facility and that about covers their compensation LOL?

If you think that that their scholarship is "fair payment", how would you feel if your employer started compensating you in gift-cards and vouchers for online courses lmao? Don't worry, they'll throw in a free membership to the fancy gym in the building!

NIL and the Transfer Portal will normalize and become settled over time like everything else. Just because this stuff is the Wild West right now, it doesn't conclude that finally paying the players is a mistake. That's a brainless conclusion.

What, it's not fair that a player comes to your school and then leaves a year later because someone else gives them more money? Isn't that what coaches do every year? They even recruit players, have them sign under the guise of being "their coach", and then leave for a high paying job the day after signing day lmao. These grifters have such inflated value that their contracts are even structured such that they get paid tens of millions just to be fired for complete incompetence. But don't worry, the sport is ruined because the players want to get paid for the actual work that is done hahaha. Good one!

It is much worse than the NFL. This I will just portal on a whim has to have some restrictions in place.

I agree with this and stop calling them student athletes.

One name for u
ED O’BANNON

he kicked this all off when he took his case to the Supreme Court. Not only did they rule in his favor but said you could stop someone from earning money. The govt had stayed out of college athletics for a century but when they got back in it was over.
Ed O’Bannon is the reason for NIL and the transfer portal.

It’s headed in a bad spot. Kids can transfer at will while making $$$ doing so. That’s not how it should be. frick the NCAA.

---

As opposed to what ? The ADs ? The coaches ? Everybody else involved that's making money hand over fist ?

You pay coaches now just to not work. And then brag to high heavens about how much more the next coach is getting paid ... because this time he's the real deal.

Yeah - you're right. Those kids should have to stick for four years, keep their mouths shut, and pop pads while getting that incredibly valuable communications degree. Eat whatever is on the training table. Turn down the hundred dollar handshake. Its for the best.

For the best for folks here that really like their TV entertainment, with a side of nostalgia.

Sure thing Tit Boss. We will take Jalen Catalon in the mean time since he’s available now.

He hasn't played in two years, is he good?

Pittman had some credibility on this when he was the lowest paid coach in the league but last year he hired sexton and got his salary doubled. I’m sure sexton made threats about Pittman leaving so he could cash in. Ultimate hypocrisy.

Dumb take, quit acting like Pit is making anything but the league average, and it's heavily skewed towards performance in wins and losses. Also has ZERO BUYOUT, ZERO! You literally couldn't ask for a better contract from the school's perspective, you can triple his contract and be saving when there's no buyout. Work on your critical thinking skills or maybe math.
