N/S Jane Slater: Coach Prime met with resistance after asking for more money for NIL and his staff (9 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

Even with NFL they do something that no other business company does. They own your rights for 5-7 years when you consider the franchise tag. Granted as a monpoly you have no other choice, that's why the USFL was so attractive to guys like Steve Young in 80s.

True, but the NFL gets away with it by having a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Players Union. The NCAA could do that too, but I suspect that any such agreement with an NCAA Players Association would not be to the liking of the schools.

They might have to end up having to pay more money for things like long term medical care, tutoring help, or just money than they do now because it would mean that not just the star players have to be paid and it would also mean that sports other than football and basketball have to be funded in similar ways. And because there wouldn't be the direct connection to, we need a 5 star QB to make a playoff run and there would be less advantage in NIL for big schools, donors might not be willing to donate as much. Give us $5 million to get a 5 star QB to get us a Natty doesn't work as well as give us $5 million which will be distributed between football, basketball, baseball, women's rhythmic gymnastics, women's water polo, etc.

The other issue that is going to pop up soon in Title IX. All this donor money is going to men's football and basketball with very little of it going to women's sports. That could present a major Title IX issue. So will donors give $10 million instead of $5 million knowing half is going to sports other than football and basketball?

It's not fair, but that's the game. No one really cares about women's lacrosse, but to a Div 1 team, you have a certain number of sports programs. The donor issue is not an SEC concern (Vanderbilt doesn't care because they're an academic school). LSU and Alabama are cash cows for the state, just like UNC in basketball or SC in women's basketball. The state provides the bulk of the funding as long as the programs do well. The AD determines the budget distribution.

Speaking of Title IX. This just came out.

Based on what? He turned around two programs.

Based on going 1-6 against ranked teams.

Trash coach.

Dude has 2 top 5 picks on his roster, one that was a stud on offense and defense and he still went 1-6? Terrible.
