Coaches must begin to chip into NIL

[Jonnyeagle]

I knew this had to happen as coaches and ADs etc are making way too much money not to help.  UTEP coach is throwing on 70k!

I can see this being problematic. What stops a school like Texas from paying a coach $20 million per year with the expanding the coach donates half to the NIL?

Just keeps getting more ridiculous.

Seems like that's just moving money around from bucket to bucket.   if 10M were to go to players, why wouldn't they just fund it through their NIL dept?    i would assume BOR would have to approve both, either way.   

not arguing, just thinking out loud.  the voices in my head are tired of talking to each other.

This has been going on for awhile,

Coaches are not giving their money away.... it's fake salary from the school meant to be given by the coach to inspire fans to do likewise.    Like the President of the company pretending to take a pay cut so paid workers will stop demanding raises, to keep the company afloat.

If I'm not mistaken, the new revenue sharing model will have a cap on how much a school can distribute to NIL. Schools will be able to share 22% of revenue with a cap of about $20 million. Bump the HC salary by a few extra millions using revenue then have the coach "donate" that extra money into the NIL fund so it's not technically from revenue but the source is in fact school revenue.
